Detailed explanation-1: -A single lymph node can also be found between the back of the knee and the popliteal artery. Occasionally, there are two popliteal veins and the artery lies between them. The popliteal artery is divided into two major branches: the anterior and posterior tibial artery and a variable number of genicular branches.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your inguinal lymph nodes are located in your groin. Specifically, they’re in the inner upper thigh area. Your superficial inguinal lymph nodes sit near the surface of your skin just below your inguinal ligament. Your deep inguinal lymph nodes are deeper within your body.
Detailed explanation-3: -The mean length of the PLNs in the 55 patients with a PLN on MRI examination was 0.57 cm (SD = 0.15) with a range of 0.3–0.9 cm. Other dimensions were the mean height, which was 0.84 cm (SD = 0.26) with a range of 0.4–1.5 cm, and a mean width of 0.71 cm (SD = 0.23) with a range of 0.3–0.9 cm.
