Many tundra animals have white or light brown coats to help them blend into the winter landscape. Tundra mammals have thick coats, and many have a double coat. This means they have both a thick fluffy undercoat to trap warm air near the body and long slick outer hairs that help water and snow slide off the body.

Tundra animals also expose as little skin as possible. Mammals typically expose the most skin around their muzzles and ears and sometimes around their paws. Some tundra animals have a thick layer of blubber to help insulate them from the cold.

Behavioral adaptations are also important characteristics of tundra animals. Arctic hares and musk oxen are famous for huddling together in large groups to help share body heat.

AveGali [126]

The colorless liquid produced as a byproduct when plasma passes nourishment to capillaries and cells is known as Lymph.

The extra fluid that leaks out of cells and tissues but is not reabsorbed into capillaries is what is referred to as lymph, also known as lymphatic fluid. Since RBCs are missing in lymph, lymph is colourless, the colour of blood is caused by the presence of haemoglobin in RBCs.

They can be discovered in a number of locations on the body, including as the groyne, armpits, chest, abdomen, and throat. They typically exist in chains or groupings. All are located close to veins and arteries and are embedded in fatty tissue. Although lymph nodes serve a variety of purposes, body defence is typically one of them.
