| lymph node |
An outpocketing of the lymphoid system where immune reactions occur. They range in size from peas to kidney beans. Collections of lymph nodes are found in the neck, around the collarbone, in the armpit (the "axilla"), and in the groin. During a physical exam, doctors usually feel these places, looking for swollen lymph nodes, which are a sign that active infection is present.

| lymph node |
small bean-sized organs made up mostly of densely packed LYMPHOCYTES, LYMPH FLUID and connective tissue. Clusters of lymph nodes are widely distributed in the body and are essential to the functioning of the immune system. They are the main sites where acquired immune responses are launched (see IMMUNE SYSTEM and NAIVE T CELL). Lymph nodes are connected with each other, other lymphoid tissue and the blood by the LYMPHATIC VESSELS.
