👉 The branch fluid, also known as the interstitial fluid or lymph, is a vital component of the circulatory and immune systems in multicellular organisms. It flows through the spaces between cells, known as interstitial spaces, and is primarily responsible for transporting nutrients, hormones, and waste products between cells and the circulatory system. This fluid also plays a crucial role in immune function by carrying white blood cells and antibodies that help defend the body against pathogens. The movement of branch fluid is facilitated by a network of lymphatic vessels, which collect and return this fluid back into the bloodstream, maintaining fluid balance and supporting overall bodily homeostasis.
