The lymphatic vessels around the small intestine are called
LACTEALS
Peyer's patches
Lymphatic vessels are vein-like tubes connected at one end to the tiny organs known as lymph nodes, which carry the lymph (serum full of white blood cells) from the lymph node to the heart. Lymphatic nodes are part of the Lymphatic System, which helps the Immune System fight against pathogens. Whenever you get sick with the flu or some similar virus, your lymph nodes can become swollen--this is why doctors feel the side of your throat when they check you over at an appointment! They're checking to see if your tonsils (lymph nodes in your throat) are swollen.
There are lymph nodes throughout the human body. Lymph nodes range in size from being as small as the head of a pin to the size of an olive. There are groups of lymph nodes which can normally be felt in the groin, underarms, and neck.
"The Lymph Nodes, or glands, are small tissue masses in which some protective cells are stored. If pathogens invade your body, many of them are carried to the lymph nodes to be destroyed. This is why your lymph nodes often feel swollen when you have a cold or the flu." (From An Invitation to Health, 2009-2010 Edition, by Dianne Hales)
The lymph nodes are on the front of the neck. There's no telling what it is. It could be a spider bite. Look carefully for a small mark. I'm sure a doctor has lots of possible explanations.

Lymphadenitis is an inflammation of the lymph nodes. Lymphadenitis can make the lymph nodes have a small pebbly feeling when touched.
The small oval structures that cluster along the lymph vessels are called lymph nodes. The nodes that can be palpated are the cervical, axillary and inguinal nodes.
