In dogs, the lymph coagulation occurs much more slowly than that of the blood. This is due to low concentration of the coagulation factors (I, II, V, VII, VIII, X, XI+XII) and to an increased level of heparin in the lymph. The fibrinolytic activity of lymph is somewhat higher than that of the blood which may be due to the low concentration of antiplasmines. The lymphocytes (thymocytes) prove to be able to substitute the blood platelets during coagulation of blood and lymph.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008196	Lymph	The interstitial fluid that is in the LYMPHATIC SYSTEM.	Lymphs
D008214	Lymphocytes	White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS.	Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
