| intraglandular parotid lymph nodes | Small lymph nodes of the deep parotid group lying within the parotid gland. Synonym: nodi lymphatici parotidei intraglandulares, intraglandular parotid lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intravascular lymph | Lymph within the lymphatic vessels, in contrast to intercellular lymph and lymph that has exuded from the vessels. (05 Mar 2000) |
| obturator lymph nodes | Nodes of the internal iliac group located along the obturator artery. Synonym: nodi lymphatici obturatorii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occipital lymph nodes | One or two small nodes along the occipital vessels close to the trapezius muscle that receive afferents from the posterior scalp and drain into the superior deep cervical nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici occipitales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thyroid lymph nodes | Nodes of the anterior deep cervical group located around the thyroid gland; they drain into the lateral deep cervical group. Synonym: nodi lymphatici thyroidei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tissue lymph | True lymph, i.e., lymph derived chiefly from fluid in tissue spaces (in contrast to blood lymph). (05 Mar 2000) |
| tracheal lymph nodes | Nodes along the sides of the trachea in the neck and in the posterior mediastinum; receive drainage of superior (and inferior) tracheobranchial (nodes, trachea and oesophagus); drain to bronchomediastinal lymphatic trunk(s), thoracic duct. Synonym: nodi lymphatici paratracheales, tracheal lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| euplastic lymph | Lymph that contains relatively few leukocytes, but a comparatively high concentration of fibrinogen; such lymph clots fairly well and tends to become organised with fibrous tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| juxta-intestinal lymph nodes | The mesenteric lymph nodes located in immediate proximity to the jejunum or ileum. Synonym: nodi lymphatici juxta-intestinales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| juxta-oesophageal pulmonary lymph nodes | Several nodes of the posterior mediastinal group located along either side of the oesophagus; they receive lymph from both the oesophagus and the lungs. Synonym: nodi lymphatici juxta-oesophageales pulmonales. (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) |
