Usually the lymph node appears in the throat when you are ill. The lymph node holds bacteria fighting items that in turn are released when you are sick. sometimes these lymph nodes tend to stick out and can bother you. DO NOT go to the doctor because these will just go away in about 1-3 weeks. I had mine stick out before and it is alright.

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.

They're checking to see if your tonsils (lymph nodes in your throat) are swollen.
