The fluid that travels through the lymphatic system and is cleansed as it passes through lymph nodes is the lymphatic fluid. As tissue fluid enters lymph capillaries, it becomes lymph and moves through lymph nodes where immune cells filter out toxins, debris, and pathogens. After this filtration, it remains as lymphatic fluid circulating back toward the bloodstream. The term lymphatic fluid is the most accurate description of the substance being filtered by the nodes in this context. The other options point to structures (lymph ducts, the thoracic duct) or to the fluid itself in a less precise way, whereas this choice emphasizes the fluid within the lymphatic system undergoing cleansing.
