Detailed explanation-1: -Cubital lymph nodes situated superior to the medial epicondyle of the humerus are known as the supratrochlear nodes. The supratrochlear nodes (1-2 lymph nodes) are a subgroup of the cubital lymph nodes and specifically function to drain lymph from fingers 3-5 and the medial portions of the forearm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer. Mike, there are indeed lymph nodes near the elbows and behind the knees. The ones near the elbows are called epitrochlear nodes and are located on the triceps side; the ones behind the knee are called popliteal nodes.
