Swollen lymph nodes are usually found near the site of an infection, tumour, or inflammation. - Şişmiş lenf düğümleri genellikle enfeksiyon, tümör ya da iltihap barındıran bölgelerin civarında olur.
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
