Q

plasma

A

-the liquid of blood.
-55% of the volume of blood.
-92% water

Q

lymphatic system

A

-fluid system
-all waste in the body goes to lymph nodes
-all bad waste goes to lymph nodes and we fight it off with WBCs.

Q

Lymph (liquid)

A

-fluid containing water, proteins and intracellular fluid
-coats individual cells
-helps materials (waste, helpful and harmful) move from blood to cells back to blood.
