| bifurcation lymph nodes | Several large lymph nodes inferior to the tracheal bifurcation; they receive afferents from the bronchopulmonary nodes and the heart, and send efferents to the superior tracheobronchial and tracheal nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici tracheobronchiales inferiores, bifurcation lymph nodes, carinal lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood lymph | Lymph exuded from the blood vessels and not derived from the fluid in the tissue spaces. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brachial 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) |
| bronchopulmonary lymph nodes | Lymph nodes in the hilum of the lung that receive lymph from the pulmonary node's, and drain to the tracheobronchial nodes. Synonym: glandulae bronchiales, bronchial glands, hilar lymph nodes, nodi lymphatici bronchopulmonales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carinal lymph nodes | Several large lymph nodes inferior to the tracheal bifurcation; they receive afferents from the bronchopulmonary nodes and the heart, and send efferents to the superior tracheobronchial and tracheal nodes.

| vaccine lymph | Vaccinia lymph, that collected from the vesicles of vaccinia infection, and used for active immunization against smallpox. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic lymph nodes | Nodes draining the body and tail of the pancreas; they are subdivided into two groups: inferior pancreatic lymph nodes (nodi lymphatici pancreatici inferiores ), located along the inferior pancreatic artery; superior pancreatic lymph nodes (nodi lymphatici pancreatici superiores ), located along the splenic artery near the origin of its pancreatic branches. Synonym: nodi lymphatici pancreatici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreaticoduodenal lymph nodes | Nodes along the superior and inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries. Synonym: nodi lymphatici pancreaticoduodenales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreaticosplenic lymph nodes | Lymph nodes of the pancreatic tail and spleen, receiving afferents from both organs plus the greater curvature of the stomach; they drain to the coeliac lymph nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici pancreticolienales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gastroduodenal lymph nodes | Group of nodes surrounding the pylorus, draining lymph into the right gastric or the right gastro-omental lymph nodes; it is divided into three smaller groups: suprapyloric lymph nodes, above the pylorus; subpyloric lymph nodes, below the pylorus; and retropyloric lymph nodes, behind the pylorus. Synonym: nodi lymphatici pylorici, gastroduodenal lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
