Do reptiles have lymph nodes?
No. Reptiles do not have lymph nodes as mammals do. Reptiles have lymph tissue in certain organs, particularly the spleen, but no peripheral nodes. They do have valves along the lymph perivascular areas though, sometimes called lymph "hearts", but these are not directly comparable to lymph nodes for trapping of toxins.Source: Infectious Diseases and Pathology of Reptiles By Elliott R. Jacobson"Although reptiles lack discreet lymph nodes, they do have less structured lymphoid cell aggregates within intestinal and pharyngeal mucosa."Source: Investigative Immunotoxicology By Helen Tryphonas
What lymphatic organ prevents bacteria from breaching the intestinal wall?
Bacteria are prevented from crossing the intestinal wall by the integrity of the intestinal cells, particularly the tight junctions, as well as the mucus lining of the intestines. If bacteria make it into the interstitial space in the intestinal wall, there is a strong diffuse immune system presence in the form of the GALT (gut associated lymphatic tissue) that can quickly move to eliminate trans-locating bacteria. However, there is no specific lymphatic organ, just a collected of lymph nodes and lymph tissues.
