Colorless fluid from tissue that contains waste and leucocytes is called?

Lymph is the colorless fluid that drains tissue and carries waste and white blood cells. It forms from interstitial fluid around cells; when this fluid enters lymphatic capillaries, it becomes lymph and moves through the lymphatic system, where it’s screened by lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are filtering organs, not the fluid itself, and macrophages are a type of immune cell that can reside in tissues or nodes. The term lymphatic fluid is used sometimes, but the circulating fluid in this system is conventionally called lymph.
