plural form of lymph node
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 Antigens that enter the body find their way into lymph or blood and are filtered out by the lymph nodes or spleen respectively, for attack by the immune system See also Antigen; Lymphocyte
Small knots of tissue, about the size of a bean, that help fight disease; they are found in the underarms, chest, groin and other areas of the body, and contain special cells that fight infections and trap cancer cells
Oval-shaped organs, often the size of peas or beans, that are located throughout the body and contain clusters of cells called lymphocytes They produce infection-fighting lymphocytes and also filter out and destroy bacteria, foreign substances and cancer cells They are connected by small vessels called lymphatics Lymph nodes act as our first line of defense against infections and the spread of cancer
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
Oval or round bodies, located along the lymphatic vessels, that supply lymphocytes to the circulatory system and re- move bacteria and foreign particles from the lymph
Small bean-shaped organs of the immune system distributed throughout the body tissue Lymph nodes are concentrated in several areas of the body, such as the armpit, groin, and neck
Small, round or oval structures located along the lymphatic vessels (lymph glands) The lymph nodes store special cells that can trap bacteria or cancer cells traveling through the lymphatic system
Organs located in the lymphatic vessels that act as filters, trapping and removing foreign organisms
Small organs located throughout the body along the channels of the lymphatic system The lymph nodes store special cells that fight infection and other diseases Clusters of lymph nodes are found in the underarms, groin, neck, chest, and abdomen Also called lymph glands
Small bean-shaped structures scattered along the vessels of the lymphatic system The lymph nodes produce white blood cells and filter bacteria and cancer cells that may travel through the system
Small bean-shaped organs (sometimes called lymph glands); part of the lymphatic system Lymph nodes under the arm drain fluid from the chest and arm During surgery, some underarm lymph nodes are removed to help determine the stage of breast cancer
a number of small swellings found at intervals along the lymphatic system Groups of nodes are found in many parts of the body They act as filters for the lymph, and prevent foreign particles from entering the bloodstream
Small bean-shaped organs of the immune system, distributed widely throughout the body and linked by lymphatic vessels Lymph nodes are garrisons of B, T, and other immune cells
Small glands, located throughout the body, that help fight cancer and infections Malignant Tumor - A cancerous growth
Small bean-shaped structures in the lymphatic system The lymph nodes store special cells that can trap bacteria or cancer cells travelling through the body in lymph
(also called lymph glands) - small organs located in the channels of the lymphatic system which store special cells to trap bacteria or cancer cells traveling through the body in lymph Clusters of lymph nodes are found in the underarms, groin, neck, chest, and abdomen
glands found throughout the body that fight harmful invaders such as bacteria The presence of cancer cells in lymph nodes generally indicates that cancer is more likely to spread elsewhere in the body
Small, bean-shaped organs located along the channels of the lymphatic system Bacteria or cancer cells that enter the lymphatic system may be found in the nodes Also called lymph glands
small organs that store cells that fight infection and other diseases Lymph nodes are located throughout the body along the channels of the lymphatic system
Small structures, the size of beans, that contain large numbers of lymphocytes and are connected with each other by small channels called lymphatics These nodes are distributed throughout the body In patients with lymphoma, and some types of lymphocytic leukemia, the malignant lymphocytes grow and expand the lymph nodes so that they may be enlarged This enlargement of lymph nodes can be seen, felt, or measured by computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging depending on the degree of enlargement and location
any of the gland-like masses of tissue in the lymph vessels containing cells that become lymphocytes Also called lymph glands
small bean-sized organs of the immune system, distributed widely throughout the body Each lymph node contains a variety of specialized compartments which house B-cells; T-cells, and macrophages lymph nodes unite in one location the several factors needed to produce an immune response
Any of the accumulations of lymphoid tissue organized as definite lymphoid organs, varying from one to 25 mm in diameter, situated along the course of lymphatic vessels The lymph nodes are the main source of lymphocytes of the peripheral blood and, as part of the reticuloendothelial system, serve as a defense mechanism by removing noxious agents, such as bacteria and toxins, and probably play a role in antibody production (Dorland, 28th ed)
Hundreds of small oval bodies that contain lymph Lymph nodes act as our first line of defence against infections and cancer

lymph node
Small oval bodies of the lymphatic system, distributed along the lymphatic vessels, that are clustered in the armpits, groin, neck, chest and abdomen. They act as filters, with an internal honeycomb of connective tissue filled with lymphocytes and macrophages that collect and destroy bacteria, viruses and foreign matter from lymph. When the body is fighting an infection, these lymphocytes multiply rapidly and produce a characteristic swelling of the lymph nodes
lymph node
Small bean-sized organs made up mostly of densely packed lymphocytes, lymph fluid and connective tissue Clusters of lymph nodes are widely distributed in the body and are essential to the functioning of the immune system They are the main sites where acquired immune responses are launched (see Immune System and Naive T-Cell) Lymph nodes are connected with each other, other lymphoid tissue and the blood by the lymphatic vessels
lymph node
Lymph nodes or lymph glands are small masses of tissue in your body where white blood cells are formed. Any of the small bodies located along the lymphatic vessels, particularly at the neck, armpit, and groin, that filter bacteria and foreign particles from lymph fluid. During infection, lymph nodes may become swollen with activated lymphocytes. Also called lymph gland. a small rounded swelling in your body through which lymph passes before entering your blood system. Small, rounded mass of lymphoid tissue contained in connective tissue. They occur all along lymphatic vessels, with clusters in certain areas (e.g., neck, groin, armpits). They filter bacteria and other foreign materials out of lymph and expose them to lymphocytes and macrophages that can engulf them; these cells multiply in response to accumulation of such materials, which is why lymph nodes swell during infections. The nodes also produce lymphocytes and antibodies, to be carried by lymph throughout the lymphatic system. In Hodgkin disease and other lymphomas, malignant lymph cells proliferate, causing lymph node enlargement. Other cancers often invade lymphatic vessels, which can carry cells from the tumour to lymph nodes, where they are trapped and grow into secondary tumours. Lymph nodes are therefore removed in cancer surgery to detect or prevent tumour spread
lymph node
Secondary immune organs distributed at discrete locations throughout the body These organs play a central role in the activation and trafficking of immune lymphocytes in the body
lymph node
one of many small, bean-shaped organs of the immune system linked by lymphatic vessels throughout the body They make and store many different immune cells that fight infections
lymph node
A gland that is part of the lymphatic system The nodes make and store white blood cells called lymphocytes They also help to trap and remove germs so that they don't harm us See lymphatic system
lymph node
A lymphatic gland
lymph node
a small, bean-sized organ located throughout the body Lymph nodes filter out antigens and are the site of antigen presentation and immune activation
lymph node
A small collection of tissue along the lymphatic system which acts as a filter White cells and cancer cells, in particular, collect in lymph nodes They are found in the neck, the armpit, the groin and many other places Lymph nodes are also known as glands
lymph node
Also known as a lymph gland, a lymph node is a small organ lying along the course of a lymphatic vessel
lymph node
bundles of lymphoid tissue found around the lymphatic system; it functions as a filter to trap pathogens
lymph node
small bean-shaped organ that acts as a filter to collect bacteria and other foreign substances processed by the immune system; lymph nodes are connected by lymphatic vessels throughout the body
lymph node
tissue of the lymphatic system which helps prevent foreign bodies from entering the bloodstream
lymph node
A gland which produces lymph which normally acts as a filter of impurities in the body It can trap cancer cells which may then develop into a new tumor
lymph node
small oval or round gland that makes up part of the immune system that removes bacteria and foreign particles from the body
lymph node
the source of lymph and lymphocytes
lymph node
collection of lymph cells that function as a gland; node (colloquial)  
lymph node
A small organ that is a component of the lymphatic system and consists of lymphocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells The lymph nodes filter lymph from peripheral nodes, and ultimately empty into the thoracic duct
lymph node
A rounded mass of lymphatic tissue that is surrounded by a capsule of connective tissue Also known as a lymph gland Lymph nodes are spread out along lymphatic vessels and contain many lymphocytes, which filter the lymphatic fluid (lymph) The lymphocytes are arranged in an arrangement designed to filter out foreign substances from the lymph system, and to encourage the immune system to recognize the foreign substance alien An increase in the size of the node indicates a high level of activity during infection
