| lateral lacunar node | A lymph node of the external iliac group located lateral to the external iliac artery at the vascular lacuna. Synonym: nodus lacunaris lateralis, lateral lacunar node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory nerve lymph nodes | The nodes of the lateral deep cervical group that are located along the accessory nerve; their efferent vessels pass to the supraclavicular lymph nodes. Synonym: companion lymph nodes of accessory nerve, nodi lymphatici comitantes nervi accessorii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anorectal lymph nodes | Nodes located on either side of the rectum; they send efferents to the middle rectal and superior rectal nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici pararectales, nodi lymphatici anorectales, anorectal lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical group of axillary lymph nodes | The group of lymph node's located at the apex of the axillary fossa that receive lymphatic drainage from other groups of axillary node's and then drain in turn into the subclavian lymphatic trunk. Synonym: nodi lymphatici axillares apicales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aplastic lymph | Lymph containing a relatively large number of leukocytes, but comparatively little fibrinogen; such lymph does not form a good clot and manifests only a slight tendency to become organised. Synonym: corpuscular lymph. (05 Mar 2000) |
| appendicular lymph nodes | Nodes along the appendicular vessels in the mesoappendix; they receive afferent vessels from the vermiform appendix and send efferent vessels to the ileocolic lymph nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici appendiculares. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axillary lymph nodes | Numerous nodes around the axillary veins which receive the lymphatic drainage from the upper limb, scapular region and pectoral region (including mammary gland); they drain into the subclavian trunk. Synonym: nodi lymphatici axillares, axillary glands. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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. Synonym: nodi lymphatici tracheobronchiales inferiores, bifurcation lymph nodes, carinal lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
