They don't produce anything. Lymph nodes take excess fluid out of your body, which are extracted from your lymph nodes and travel through your lymph vessels. Then, the body gets rid of this fluid. (you can just guess that part)
Lymph nodes produce antibodies that are used to fight infections.
Yes. Lymphocytes are manufactured in lymph nodes, as well as in bone marrow.
Yes, so they can fight a germ they have found and record the pathogens.

A lymph node.
A reactive lymph node is the same as an enlarged lymph node. Lymph nodes can become enlarged for a variety of reasons, most of which aren't serious. The ICD code for a reactive lymph node is 785.6.
A paraaortic prominent lymph node is a lymph node more noticable than the others and found near the aorta.
The difference between incision and excision of lymph nodes is very simple. The incision of a lymph node is when the biopsy only takes part of the lymph node during surgery. The excision of the lymph node is when the whole lymph node is removed.

A sentinel lymph node is the first lymph node that drains a cancer. If a cancer has not spread to the first draining lymph node near a cancer, there is a high likelihood it has not spread elsewhere.
A fatty hilum is a region of connective tissue within a lymph node that contains an accumulation of fat. It is a normal part of lymph node anatomy and serves to provide support and structure to the lymph node.
A sentinel lymph node is the first lymph node that drains a cancer. If a cancer has not spread to the first draining lymph node near a cancer, there is a high likelihood it has not spread elsewhere.
It's a lymph node that drains an inflamed area. The source of the inflammation can be bacterial-viral infection, immunological disease, or malignancy.
Of primary importance to stage determination and regional lymph node involvement is identification and analysis of the sentinel lymph node.
