👉 Mouse fluid, also known as lymph, is a clear, colorless liquid that circulates through the lymphatic system, playing a crucial role in immune function and fluid balance. Produced by tissues and organs throughout the body, it collects excess fluids and cellular debris in the interstitial spaces and transports them to lymph nodes, where immune cells can detect and respond to pathogens. This fluid also carries white blood cells, particularly lymphocytes, which are vital for fighting infections and diseases. Unlike blood, which is part of the circulatory system, lymphatic fluid travels through a network of vessels and nodes, eventually returning to the bloodstream via the thoracic duct. This process helps maintain homeostasis by preventing fluid buildup in tissues and supporting the body's defense mechanisms against infections.
