Answer:

Lymph originates in blood capillaries that pick up tissue fluid. Mucous membranes prevent most pathogens from entering the body because of the stickiness of the mucus and the presence of lysozymes. Pus is made of dead neutrophils, macrophages, and other tissue debris from a damaged tissue.
