MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lymph nodes are small, oval-shaped glands that produce disease-fighting cells. They also act as filters for your lymph vessels. Your lymph vessels are a network of thin tubes that collect lymph fluid and circulate it throughout your body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lymph node is oval in shape with both peripheral (arrowheads) and hilar (arrow) vascularity. Power Doppler ultrasonography evaluation of nodal vascular pattern has been reported to have high sensitivity (83–89%) and specificity (87–100%) for differentiating metastatic and reactive nodes[10, 12, 68].

Detailed explanation-3: -Lymph nodes are located in many parts of the body, including the neck, armpit, chest, abdomen (belly), and groin. They contain immune cells that can help fight infection by attacking and destroying germs that are carried in through the lymph fluid. There are hundreds of lymph nodes throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lymph nodes are small oval clumps of lymphatic tissue found at intervals along the lymphatic vessels. They are grouped like ‘beads on a string’ both deep in the body and near the surface (see Diagram 1). These lymph nodes filter out harmful organisms and cells from the lymph before it is returned to the blood stream.
