lymph nodes

1. “Knots” in the lymphatic system, which contain lymphocytes and macrophages that filter the lymph passing through the nodes.2. Small oval-shaped bodies grouped in certain areas of the body, including the armpits, groin, neck, and abdomen, that produce antibodies to fight the spread of infection.

Translations

Lymph Nodes

organs of the lymphatic system in the higher vertebrates and man.

The lymph nodes are oval formations along the path of the lymphatic vessels that consist of reticular tissue enclosed in a connective-tissue capsule and in which lymphocytes are formed. The lymph flow in the narrow cavities (sinuses) of the nodes is retarded markedly, facilitating the capture by leukocytes (phagocytes) of foreign particles entering from the tissues through the lymphatic vessels and preventing their entry into the blood. Thus, the more lymph nodes (and their number increases in the progression from the lower mammals to man), the stronger the barrier protecting the body from pathogenic principles. In man, the dimensions of the lymph nodes vary from 3 mm to 30 mm. However, with certain diseases, these dimensions may increase sharply (for example, the otic nodes, in cases of epidemic parotitis or tonsillitides), sometimes even reaching the size of a hen’s egg.

Lymph nodes

lymph nodes

Small oval or bean-shaped bodies, up to 2 cm in length, situated in groups along the course of the LYMPH drainage vessels. The nodes have fibrous capsules and are packed with lymphocytes. The main groups of lymph nodes are in the groins, the armpits, the neck, around the main blood vessels in the abdomen, in the MESENTERY and in the central partition of the chest (the MEDIASTINUM). Lymph nodes offer defence against the spread of infection by producing ANTIBODIES, and become involved in the spread of cancer. They can become cancerous, forming LYMPHOMAS.

Lymph nodes

Small, bean-shaped masses of tissue scattered along the lymphatic system that act as filters and immune monitors, removing fluids, bacteria, or cancer cells that travel through the lymph system. Breast cancer cells in the lymph nodes under the arm or in the chest are a sign that the cancer has spread, and that it might recur.Mentioned in: Anal Cancer, Bites and Stings, Breast Cancer, Cat-Scratch Disease, Cervical Cancer, Colon Cancer, Fibrocystic Condition of the Breast, Hairy Cell Leukemia, Hysterectomy, Laryngeal Cancer, Laryngectomy, Lung Biopsy, Lymph Node Biopsy, Lymphadenitis, Lymphedema, Mediastinoscopy, Radical Neck Dissection, Rectal Cancer

Patient discussion about Lymph nodes

Q. tender protuding lymph node lump rt. arm pit aprox. 1/2" dia. any concerns or recommend treatment necessary? A. lymph nodes can flare up any time you get infected in the armpit and all the area that it drains. i had it several times and it went away in the same manner that it came. i think that sometimes it caused because of a blockade done by deodorant. so i try to use this Chinese salt stone that doesn't contain aluminum.
