Lymph nodes do not specifically remove extra nutrients from lymph; rather, their primary function is to filter lymph fluid, trapping pathogens, foreign particles, and cancer cells. They play a crucial role in the immune system by facilitating the activation of lymphocytes and other immune responses.
