They are more or less equally spaced. The size of the nodes span from 1–2 µm whereas the internodes can be up to (and occasionally even greater than)1.5 millimeters long, depending on the axon diameter and fiber type.

Component Macros are built in functions used to control components such as an LCD display, EEPROM, switches, serial data, etc. Macros are user created functions that help make the program more modular. As far as I can tell, there are only those 2 types.
(1) A lymph is transported back to the blood stream, the lymph nodes act as lymph "filters" Macrophages in the nodes remove and destroy microorganisms and other debri that enter the lymph from the loose connective tissues, effectively preventing them from being delivered to the blood and spreading to other parts of the body. (2) They help activate the immune system. Lymph nodes and other lymphoid organs are strategically located sites where lymphocytes encounter antigens and are activated to mount an attack against them.
All lymph nodes have a few basic functions - 1. they test the lymph (a clear substance which originates from the blood) for foreign substances 2. if the lymph contains anything foreign they send lymphocytes into the bloodstream to try and destroy it 3. they filter the lymph - sending only clean lymph back into the lymphatic system.
i hope that this site can help you with your question best wishes http://redthunder-cancer.blogspot.com/
enlarged lymph nodes (portahepatis)may be due to:- 1)inflammatory due to chronic cholicystitis. 2)neoplastic (abdominal lymphoma) 3)as a metastasis due to adenocarcinoma of the stomach.
actually, you can have swollen lymph nodes from a sinus infection as well as other things. ANSWER: Your lymph nodes swell up as they stop bacteria that is carried through the bloodstream. They store this and release it in smaller quantities that the body can handle. Swollen lymph nodes are the first sign of an infection in the body.

The cardiovascular system and lymphatic system. Whenever the heart beats, a little fluid called lymph squeezes out of capillaries. This fluid is collected by lymph capillaries to be filtered in the lymph nodes.
Most normal axillary lymph nodes are less than 2cm in size and have a kidney -shape apperance. Lymph drainage from the breast is significant because it is by this route that a malignant disease may leave the breast.
Your nymph nodes are located next to your tonsils, in your groin, in your armpit, in your hypothalamus, and many other areas, though these are the main sites.Lymph nodes are found all throughout the body, and act as filters or traps for foreign particles. Humans have approximately 500-600 lymph nodes distributed throughout the body, with clusters found in the underarms, groin, neck, chest, and abdomen.
Some kinds of calcification, lymph nodes, or implants in the breast might generate a BIRADS 2 rating.
The different stages of breast cancer refer to how far the cancerous tumor has spread in the body. In Stage 2, the cancer is still relatively small and contained in the breast. It may or may not have reached the lymph nodes.
Lymph is basically the fluid that is between the cells of the body (interstitial fluid), and is basically the same as blood plasma. It initially leaks out of the arteries because the blood in the arteries are under higher hydrostatic pressure than the tissues on the outside of the arteries. As it collects in the tissues, it is sucked up by the lymph system and returned to circulation in the subclavian vein.
Yes, but be sure to watch for changes in the lymph nodes. If they stay for more than 2 weeks after you are over your sinus infection, check with your doctor.
