What are the small organs found on lymphatic vessels called?
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.

Are they swollen lymph nodes or bone under ear and behind jaw bone?
More info - Hi, I can't get an answer anywhere... so, you know how there are lymph nodes under the ear and behind the jaw; like where there are muscles? Okay, so I've had swollen lymph nodes there before and I got them about a month ago again. At the time they were painful and swollen. Now, I think they just stayed swollen. But they are hard as bone. So is there bone there that I could be feeling? Or are they actual hard, swollen lymph nodes? The right one is a little lower than the left side. They're below the mastoid process. I believe it's in the cervical lymph node region. Any thoughts?

Is it just the skin surface that is sore? Or is it deeper and tender when you press on it? If it is tender when you press in, then it is the lymph nodes which are under the skin. They are likely swollen due to some virus you picked up. The nodes on either side of your neck may be sore and swollen as well. It should be fine in a few days.

Would 2 small knots on the back of a 10-month-old's head be cause for alarm?
If the knots are at the base of the back of his skull on his neck they are lymph nodes and are possibly swollen due to some type of infection. Either way, you need to take him to a pediatrician immediately. === Occipital nodes are the lymph nodes you're referring to. They can be felt on the back of most infant's heads. If swollen, does baby have baby acne or cradle scalp? Is there a pimple on the scalp or bug bite? Sometimes an external ear problem can cause these to swell. We all have 1- 3 nodes on each side of our head in the 'hair' area.
