APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lymph nodes are small bean-shaped tissues found along the lymphatic vessels. The lymph nodes act as filters. Various immune system cells trap germs in the lymph nodes and activate the creation of special antibodies in the blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped masses of lymphatic tissue along lymph vessels. They store lymphocytes and filter waste, bacteria and damaged cells (including cancer cells) from lymph.

Detailed explanation-3: -The medulla is the innermost layer of the lymph node and contains large blood vessels, sinuses, and medullary cords. The medullary cords contain antibody-secreting plasma cells, B-cells, and macrophages. The medullary sinuses (or sinusoids) are vessel-like spaces that separate the medullary cords.

Detailed explanation-4: -The lymph nodes, or lymph glands, are small, encapsulated bean-shaped structures composed of lymphatic tissue.
