   Lymph
   Plasma, minus plasma proteins, is exuded (pushed) through the capillary walls by the blood pressure and bathes the tissues as 'tissue fluid', which is drained into the lymphatic system, where white cells known as lymphocytes are added by the lymph glands that occur throughout the system. The fluid is now known as lymph. It is returned to the circulatory system in the neck region. The lymphocytes help fight infection, if the lymph glands become infected they become swollen and painful (hence 'glandular fever').
