2. List of lymph nodes of the human body - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lymph_nodes_of_the...

   Lymph nodes of the lungs: The lymph is drained from the lung tissue through subsegmental, segmental, lobar and interlobar lymph nodes to the hilar lymph nodes, which are located around the hilum (the pedicle, which attaches the lung to the mediastinal structures, containing the pulmonary artery, the pulmonary veins, the main bronchus for each side, some vegetative nerves and the lymphatics) of ...

3. Lymph node - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymph_node

   The primary function of lymph nodes is the filtering of lymph to identify and fight infection. In order to do this, lymph nodes contain lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, which includes B cells and T cells. These circulate through the bloodstream and enter and reside in lymph nodes. [24] B cells produce antibodies.

4. Thoracic lymph nodes - Wikipedia

   Deep lymph nodes and vessels of the thorax and abdomen (diagrammatic). Afferent vessels are represented by continuous lines, and efferent and internodular vessels by dotted lines. The tracheobronchial lymph glands.

5. Lymphatic system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphatic_system

   Lymph nodes are located at intervals along the lymphatic system. Several afferent lymph vessels bring in lymph, which percolates through the substance of the lymph node, and is then drained out by an efferent lymph vessel. Of the nearly 800 lymph nodes in the human body, about 300 are located in the head and neck. [23] Many are grouped in ...

6. Bronchomediastinal lymph trunk - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchomediastinal_lymph_trunk

   The bronchomediastinal lymph trunks are essential components of the human lymphatic system, tasked with draining lymph from the tracheobronchial, internal mammary, and anterior mediastinal lymph nodes. Located in the mediastinum, the central part of the thoracic cavity, these trunks form from the convergence of efferent vessels that ascend ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheobronchial_lymph_nodes

   The inferior tracheobronchial node is located just below the bifurcation in the angle between the two bronchi. Bronchopulmonary nodes (hilar nodes) situate in the hilum of each lung. Pulmonary nodes are embedded the lung substance on the larger branches of the bronchi. The afferents of the tracheobronchial glands drain the lungs and bronchi ...

9. Thoracic duct - Wikipedia

   Diagram showing parts of the body that drain into the right lymphatic duct. The lymph transport, in the thoracic duct, is mainly caused by the action of breathing, aided by the duct's smooth muscle and by internal valves which prevent the lymph from flowing back down again. There are also two valves at the junction of the duct with the left ...
