Lymph is essentially tissue fluid that has entered the lymphatic vessels. Tissue fluid is formed from blood plasma that filters out of capillaries into the interstitial spaces. Therefore, lymph has a composition similar to plasma, but it contains fewer proteins and no red blood cells (though it contains white blood cells).
Lymph is derived from interstitial fluid, which is derived from blood plasma. Hence, lymph resembles plasma in its general composition, minus most proteins and red blood cells.
Digestive juice contains enzymes for digestion. Cytoplasmic fluid is the material within a cell, outside the nucleus. Urine is a waste product filtered by the kidneys. Plasma is the liquid component of blood.
