Detailed explanation-1: -Lymph nodes: Lymph nodes are bean-shaped glands that monitor and cleanse the lymph as it filters through them. The nodes filter out the damaged cells and cancer cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Summary. Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped organs that support the immune system by trapping foreign agents and killing them. They do so by filtering bacteria, viruses, and other disease-causing agents circulating in the lymphatic system. White blood cells, called lymphocytes, are then recruited to control infection.
Detailed explanation-3: -The lymph nodes filter out harmful substances and waste products. They also contain immune cells called lymphocytes that destroy cancer cells and bacteria. The filtered fluid is then returned to the blood circulation. If you have an infection or cancer, a lymph node may become swollen.
