This lymphatic fluid is then transported via progressively larger lymphatic vessels through lymph nodes, where substances are removed by tissue lymphocytes and circulating lymphocytes are added to the fluid, before emptying ultimately into the right or the left subclavian vein, where it mixes with ...
8.3.6 Lymph nodes Introduction The lymph nodes are structural and functional units of the lymphatic system. They are so located that they are well protected against exterior influences and yet do not interfere with locomotion or with flow in the vascular system. What we refer to here as a lym...
Cervical lymph nodes (Figure 5) The cervical lymph nodes are of great clinical importance in the context of neoplastic and inflammatory disease involving viscera in the head and neck. The lymph nodes in the neck may be broadly categorized into two sets: ...
Lymph nodes are generally in groups or chains along the paths of the larger lymphatic vessels throughout the body and each group drains a specific area of your body, but are absent in the central nervous system. Figure 1 shows the major locations of lymph nodes. You may be more likely to...

The lymph flows via the lymphatic vessels through a series of thelymph nodes, which filter out foreign bodies, microbes and cancer cells. The lymph vessels merge into the lymphatic trunks and further into the left and right lymphatic duct, which deliver the lymph to the blood in the subclavian...

The lymph nodes and brain were placed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) at 4 °C for 24 h and then transferred to 30% sucrose for 24 h. After dehydration, lymph nodes and brain were embedded in OCT and sliced into 12-μm-thick sections (for immunostaining) or 6-μm-thick sections (for ...
