Blood:
1. Composition:
Blood is a red fluid that contains red and white blood cells, platelets, and plasma.
2. Function:
It does many jobs, like carrying oxygen, nutrients, and hormones, removing waste, and helping the immune system.
3. Color:
Blood looks red because of something called hemoglobin in the red blood cells.
4. Travel:
It moves around in blood vessels (like arteries and veins) and is pumped by the heart.
5. Clotting:
If there’s a cut, blood has a way to stop too much bleeding.
Lymph:
1. Composition:
Lymph is a clear fluid with white blood cells, proteins, and sometimes tiny bits of cells.
2. Function:
Lymph mostly helps balance fluids, returning extra fluid from tissues back to the blood, and helps the immune system.
3. Color:
Lymph is clear, not red like blood.
4. Travel:
Lymph travels in its own vessels, called the lymphatic system, and goes through lymph nodes before going back to the blood.
5. Clotting:
Unlike blood, lymph doesn’t clot. It’s more about fluid balance and immune stuff, not stopping bleeding.
