$1$. Blood is a red-colored fluid connective tissue,whereas lymph is a colorless fluid connective tissue.
$2$. Blood contains red blood cells $(RBCs)$,white blood cells $(WBCs)$,and platelets,while lymph contains only white blood cells (mainly lymphocytes) and lacks $RBCs$ and platelets.
$3$. Blood contains more proteins,calcium,and phosphorus,whereas lymph contains fewer proteins and less calcium and phosphorus.
$4$. Blood flows in a closed circulatory system (arteries,veins,and capillaries),while lymph flows in an open system (lymphatic vessels) and moves in only one direction (from tissues to the heart).
$5$. Blood transports oxygen,carbon dioxide,nutrients,and hormones,whereas lymph primarily transports fats and helps in the body's immune response.
