Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lymph nodes are small clumps of tissue along the network of lymph vessels that clean lymph as it moves through them. They filter out viruses, bacteria, and fungi that can cause illnesses. Most lymph nodes are in clusters in the neck, armpit, and groin area.

Detailed explanation-2: -Inside the lymph nodes are white blood cells, also called lymphocytes. These white blood cells attack and break down bacteria, viruses, damaged cells or cancer cells. The lymph fluid carries the waste products and destroyed bacteria back into the bloodstream. The liver or kidneys then remove these from the blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lymph nodes filter lymph. They trap germs and damaged or abnormal cells, and activate immune responses to help your body get rid of them. Lymph nodes contain lots of white blood cells called lymphocytes. If you have an infection, the lymphocytes multiply inside your lymph nodes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lymph fluid is carried to the lymph nodes by lymphatic vessels. 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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped glands. They filter lymph fluid and trap bacteria, viruses, and other substances. White blood cells called lymphocytes then destroy these trapped substances.
