Small structures that filter out the lymph and store lymphocytes

Small structures throughout the body that filter lymph fluid and collect inflammatory cells in order to keep them from spreading infection.

A rounded mass of lymphatic tissue that is surrounded by a capsule of connective tissue. Lymph nodes filter lymph (lymphatic fluid), and they store lymphocytes (white blood cells). They are located al [..]

Small, bean-sized organs of the immune system, distributed widely throughout the body. Lymph fluid is filtered through the lymph nodes in which all types of lymphocytes take up temporary residence. Ly [..]

Small, bean-shaped structures found throughout the body. Lymph nodes produce and store infection-fighting cells.

Part of the lymphatic system; bean-shaped organs, found in the underarm, groin, neck, and abdomen, that act as filters for the lymph fluid as it passes through them.

Lymph nodes are small organs of the immune system spread throughout the body.  They behave as filters or traps for foreign particles.  Lymph nodes contain cells that become lymphocytes and are importa [..]

Small bean-shaped structures of immune system tissue such as lymphocytes, located along lymphatic vessels. They remove waste and fluids from lymph and help fight infections. Also called lymph glands. [..]

Small, bean-shaped organs that filter germs and foreign matter out of the body. Also called lymph glands.

Small, bean-shaped organs located along the lymphatic system. Nodes filter out bacteria or cancer cells that may travel through the lymphatic system. Also called lymph glands.

A small collection of tissue that contain T-cells and B-cells; essential to the function of the immune system.   MClick here to return to list

Small glands that make up part of the lymphatic system, which defends the body against infection. They are a common place for colon or rectal cancer to spread to.

Hundreds of small oval bodies that contain lymph. Lymph nodes act as our first line of defense against infections and cancer.

The Lymphatic System The lymphatic system is composed of lymph vessels, lymph nodes, and organs. The functions of this system include the absorbtion of excess fluid and its return to the blood stream, [..]

They are oval or bean shaped bodies (1 - 30 mm in diameter) located along the Lymphatic System.

Very small organs of the lymphatic system. Lymph nodes are located in many areas of the body, mainly in the neck, under the arms, and in the groin. Lymph nodes play a crucial role in the immune system. When lymph is filtered through the lymph nodes, foreign substances are trapped and destroyed by the lymphocytes that line the walls of the lymph nod [..]

They are oval or bean shaped bodies (1 - 30 mm in diameter) located along the lymphatic system.

 Also known as lymph glands. Small oval-shaped structures found in clusters throughout the lymphatic system, for example under the arm (axilla).

Part of the immune system of an animal. Small masses of tissue that contain white blood cells called lymphocytes. Blood from the nearby area is filtered through the lymph node allowing foreign or infe [..]

small lumps of tissue containing white blood cells that are found along the lymphatic system, a network of fluid-filled vessels that’s separate from the veins and arteries. Cells from a malignant tumo [..]

Hundreds of small oval bodies that contain lymph. Lymph nodes act as our first line of defense against infections and cancer.

Small, bean-sized organs that support the immune response. Lymph nodes function to trap threats as they travel through the body. Also known as lymph glands.

Small glands that store cells that act as the body's fisrt line of defense, fighting infection and other diseases, including cancer.

small, rounded structures in the lymphatic system that contain disease-fighting white blood cells

small round nodes in the lymphatic system that produce white blood cells and filter harmful substances out of the body. Infection, such as mumps, causes the lymph nodes to enlarge.

Round little bumps found under the skin, part of the immune system

Small, bean-shaped structures which form part of the lymphatic system. The lymph nodes filter the lymph to remove bacteria and other harmful agents, such as cancer cells. The lymphatic system is part [..]

 The glands, for example those in the neck. They can be bigger if there is infection.

 Small oval swellings, usually up to 2 cm in length, arranged in groups at various points along the course of the lymphatic drainage system, for example in the neck, armpit and groin; they help the body fight infections and drain away waste fluids from the tissues

Rounded masses of tissue that produce lymphocytes and filter the flow of lymph, the pale fluid that bathes the tissues of the body.

Bean-sized organs, which filter lymph, a fluid that carries lymphocytes.

These are oval-shaped structures found throughout the body, particularly in the armpit (axilla), neck and groin. They are part of the immune and lymphatic systems where they help the body to fight inf [..]

Part of the immune system’s lymphatic system, these are bean-shaped organs found in the underarms, groin, neck, and abdomen that act as filters for the lymph fluid as it passes through them. The lymph nodes are major sites of antigen trapping by lymphocytes, which in turn activate an immune response.

Small, bean-shaped glands that form part of the lymphatic system. They collect and destroy bacteria and viruses. Also called lymph glands.

These bean-shaped structures act as filters, collecting bacteria or cancer cells that travel through the lymph system. If lymph nodes contain cancer cells, this is an indication that the cancer has sp [..]
