What does the term lymph node refer to?
Lymphatic vessels
What is the only lymphatic organ with afferent vessels?
lymph node
What structure carries lymph into a lymph node?
Afferent lymphatic vessels
What structure ensures a slow flow of the lymph nodes?
Lymph enters the lymph node through a series of afferent lymphatic vessels and exits the lymph node via efferent lymphatic vessels. There are more afferent lymphatic vessels than there are efferent lymphatic vessels, slowing down the flow. The reason the slow flow is desirable is that it allows time for lymphocytes and macrophages to carry out their protective functions of removing debris from lymph.
Lymph leaves a lymph node via?
Lymph exits the node at its hilum, the indented region on the concave side, via efferent lymphatic vessels.
What is a sentinel node?
It is the first node in which the lymphatic drainage occura in a particular area.

What is sentinel node?

The major organs of the lymphatic system?
Some lymphatic organs are lymph nodes, tonsils, the spleen, and the thymus.
Does the lymph node system vessels form a continuous loop through body?
No, the system drains into the blood circulatory system via the left and right lymphatic ducts.
Trace the sequence of fluid flow through blood vessel to blood vessel by way of the lymphatic system?
The sequence of fluid flow is blood capillaries.... interstitial space or interstitial fluid..... lymphatic capillaries.... lymphatic vessels.... lymphatic ducts..... junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. Then what helps this whole sequence is the skeletal muscle pump and the respiratory pump.
How does the structure of a lymph node allow lymphocytes and macrophages to perform their protective function?
Macrophages ingest microorganisms and cellular debris. Lymphocytes monitor the lymphatic stream for the presence of antigens and mount an immune response. Because there are fewer efferent vessels draining the node than afferent vessels that feed it, the flow of lymph through the node stagnates somewhat, allowing time for the lymphocytes and macrophages to work.
