What does LYMPH mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A clear, watery fluid that carries white blood cells through the lymphatic system.
Lymph collects from the spaces between body cells and flows through a network of vessels and nodes before returning to the bloodstream, helping to fight infection along the way. Unlike blood, lymph has no red cells and appears pale or colourless, though it can look milky after a fatty meal because it also carries absorbed fat from the intestine. Doctors examine lymph nodes for swelling because they filter this fluid and can show the first signs of infection or disease.
How LYMPH is used
A technical, medical term used mainly in biology and healthcare rather than in casual speech.
- Lymph flows slowly through vessels on its way back to the blood.
- Swollen glands are a sign that lymph nodes are fighting infection.
