| 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.

| lymphoid organs |
Include tonsils, adenoids, lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and other tissues. These organs act as the body's filtering system, trapping invaders (ie, foreign particles, eg, bacteria and viruses) and presenting them to squadrons of immune cells that congregate there. Within these lymphoid tissues, immune activity is concentrated in regions called germinal centers, where the thread-like tentacles of follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) form networks that trap invaders.
