Lymph (Chyle)

Lymph (Chyle) is an alkaline whitish liquid, reminiscent of milk in appearance, similar in composition to blood plasma; formed from tissue fluid (ed.). In the small intestine, the products of fat breakdown are absorbed into the lymphatic capillaries of the villi, from where they enter the lymphatic vessels of the mesentery, the corresponding nodes and trunks and ultimately enter the thoracic duct, and from it into the left venous angle; appears in the milk vessels after absorption of food.

Lymphocytic alkaline clear liquid. Constituting about half of the blood volume into the lumens of the lymphatic capillaries, it is pushed there from the venules of the small intestine, under the influence of negative pressure in which. From here it moves through the lymphatic channels and voids into the lymphatic chest in the large nodes lying to the level of the mesenteric lymph nodes, and from there through the lymphatic chest - into the axillary and inguinal nodes, from which it returns through the lymphatic channels to the large venous vessel. Then, when swallowing, through the goiter and cervical arteries, which branch wanderingly between the gills and the heart, it reaches the pulmonary and abdominal-thoracic nodes, then the thoracic artery, where it mixes with venous blood into the left vena cava and inferior phrenic vein.
