The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Lymph**: Lymph is a clear, colorless fluid that is part of the lymphatic system in the body. It is similar to blood but has different components. 2. **Composition of Lymph**: Lymph mainly consists of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell), nutrients, hormones, and other substances. It does not contain red blood cells (RBCs) or platelets. 3. **Comparison with Blood**: To understand lymph better, we can define it as "blood minus" certain components. Specifically, lymph can be described as: - Blood minus corpuscles (which include RBCs and platelets) - Blood minus plasma (the liquid component of blood) - Blood minus WBCs (white blood cells, which include lymphocytes) 4. **Key Characteristics**: The absence of RBCs is what gives lymph its colorless appearance. RBCs contain hemoglobin, which is responsible for the red color of blood. 5. **Function of Lymph**: Lymph plays a crucial role in the immune system and helps in the transportation of fats absorbed from the digestive system to various organs. 6. **Final Definition**: Therefore, lymph can be defined as "blood minus RBCs and platelets".
