(d) : Lymph or tissue fluid has the same mineral distribution as that in plasma. Exchange of nutrients, gases, etc., between the blood and the cells always occur through this fluid. An elaborate network of vessels called the lymphatic system collects this fluid and drains it back to the major veins. It is a colourless fluid containing specialised lymphocytes which are responsible for the immune responses of the body. It is also an important carrier for nutrients, hormones, etc.
