2. Lymph nodes:
A lymph node or lymph gland is an ovoid
or kidney-shaped organ of the lymphatic
system.
They are major sites of B and T cells and
other white blood cells.

4. FUNCTION:
They filter lymph ,a
clear fluid that comes
from blood plasma.
Assist the immune
system in building an
immune response.

5. STRUCTURE:
kidney or oval shaped and
range in size from 0.1 to 2.5 cm
long.
fibrous capsule.
outer cortex and the inner
medulla.

7. Location:
500–600 lymph nodes
head, groin, neck, chest, and
abdomen.

8. Lymph nodes of the head:
1. Occipital lymph nodes
2. Mastoid lymph nodes
3. Parotid lymph nodes

9. CERVICAL LYMPH NODES:
Lymph nodesof the neck
1. Submental lymph node
2. Submandibular lymph
node

10. DEEP CERVICALLYMPHNODES
1. Deep anterior cervical nodes
2. Deep lateral cervical nodes

12. Supraclavicular lymph nodes:
Supraclavicular lymph
nodes are lymph nodes
found above to the clavicle,
that can be felt in the
supraclavicular fossa.
 On the left side are
called Virchow's nodes.

14. Lymph nodesof the thorax:
Lymph nodes of the lungs:
The lymph is drained from the lung
tissue through subsegmental,
segmental, lobar and interlobar lymph
nodes.

15. Lymph nodesof arm:
Lateral nodes
Anterior or pectoral nodes
Posterior or subscapular nodes
Central or intermediate nodes
Medial or subclavicular nodes

17. Lymph nodesof lowerlimbor groin:
Inguinal lymph nodes
Inguinal lymph nodes are lymph
nodes in the human groin. Located in
the femoral triangle of the inguinal
region, they are grouped into
superficial and deep lymph nodes

18. popliteal lymph nodes
The popliteal lymph nodes,
small in size and some six or
seven in number, are
embedded in the fat contained
in the popliteal fossa,
sometimes referred to as the
'knee pit'..
