| external iliac lymph nodes | Nodes located in association with the external iliac vein; they are subdivided into three groups: intermediate external iliac lymph nodes, between the vein and the external iliac artery; lateral external iliac lymph nodes, and medial external iliac lymph nodes, medial to the vein; they all receive afferent vessels from the inguinal nodes, lower abdominal wall, and pelvic viscera, and send efferent vessels to the common iliac nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici iliaci externi. (05 Mar 2000) |

| facial lymph nodes | A chain of lymph nodes lying along the facial vein that receive afferent vessels from the eyelids, nose, cheek, lip, and gums, and send efferent vessels to the submandibular nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici faciales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrinous lymph | A euplastic or croupous lymph. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral deep cervical lymph nodes | The lymph nodes located in the posterior triangle of the neck beneath the deep cervical fascia; they empty into the jugular trunk on the right or left side; the group is subdivided into four smaller chains: anterior jugular lymph nodes, lateral jugular lymph nodes, accessory nerve lymph nodes, and supraclavicular lymph nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici cervicales laterales profundi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral group of axillary lymph nodes | Lymph nodes along the brachial vein that receive lymph drainage from most of the free superior limb and send efferent vessels to the central group of axillary lymph nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici brachiales, brachial lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral jugular lymph nodes | Nodes of the lateral deep cervical group lying lateral to the internal jugular vein; they usually empty into the jugular trunk. Synonym: nodi lymphatici jugulares laterales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral pericardiac lymph nodes | Small lymph nodes located along the pericardiacophrenic vessels, they drain the pericardium. Synonym: nodi lymphatici pericardiales laterales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral superficial cervical lymph nodes | One to four nodes lying along the external jugular vein; they drain the skin and superficial structures over the region of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and send efferent vessels to the deep lateral cervical lymph nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici cervicales laterales superficiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left colic lymph nodes | Small nodes along the left colic artery and its branches that drain the left flexure and upper part of the descending colon; efferent vessels pass to the inferior mesenteric nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici colici sinistri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left gastric lymph nodes | Nodes located along the left gastric artery and its branches; they are divided into paracardial, upper and lower groups. Synonym: nodi lymphatici gastrici sinistri, superior gastric lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left gastroepiploic lymph nodes | Nodes located in the greater omentum along the left gastroepiploic artery that drain part of the greater curvature of the stomach and greater omentum. Synonym: nodi lymphatici gastro-omentales sinistri, left gastro-omental nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left lumbar lymph nodes | The chain of lymph nodes associated with the aorta in the abdomen; it is divided into three groups: lateral aortic lymph nodes on the left of the aorta; pre-aortic lymph nodes in front of the aorta; post-aortic lymph nodes, behind the aorta. Synonym: nodi lymphatici lumbales sinistri, lumbar lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lingual lymph nodes | Lymph node along the lingual vein receiving drainage from the tongue (except tip); drain to submandibular lymph nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici linguales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lumbar lymph nodes | right lumbar lymph nodes, intermediate lumbar lymph nodes, left lumbar lymph nodes |
| lymph | <physiology> The almost colourless fluid that bathes body tissues and is found in the lymphatic vessels that drain the tissues of the fluid that filters across the blood vessel walls from blood. Lymph carries lymphocytes that have entered the lymph nodes from the blood. (12 May 1997) |
