The fluid that moves through the lymphatic vessels is called

It is called Interstitial fluid. The Interstitial fluid that is collected by the Lymphatic Vessels. Once fluid enters the lymphatics it's called "Lymph." The lymphatic vessels (or lymph vessels or lymphatics) are thin-walled vessels structured like blood vessels, that carry lymph. As part of the lymphatic system, lymph vessels are complementary to the cardiovascular system. Lymph vessels are lined by endothelial cells, and have a thin layer of smooth muscle, and adventitia that bind the lymph vessels to the surrounding tissue. Lymph vessels are devoted to the propulsion of the lymph from the lymph capillaries, which are mainly concerned with absorption of interstitial fluid from the tissues. Lymph capillaries are slightly larger than their counterpart capillaries of the vascular system. Lymph vessels that carry lymph to a lymph node are called afferent lymph vessels, and those that carry it from a lymph node are called efferent lymph vessels, from where the lymph may travel to another lymph node, may be returned to a vein, or may travel to a larger lymph duct. Lymph ducts drain the lymph into one of the subclavian veins and thus return it to general circulation.

The fluid that travels through the lymphatic vessels is called the lymph fluid.

This fluid includes water from plasma that disappears into the interstitial area in the tissues of the body. The escape is due to hydrostatic pressure or through osmotic pressure within the body of a human. The lymphatic vessels start with the collection of lymph fluid which is given by interstitial fluid.
