What else can I help you with?
What does the term lymph node refer to?
Lymphatic vessels
Lymph enters a node through what kind of lymphatic vessel?
Afferent lymphatic vessels bring lymph into a lymph node. These vessels help transport lymph, which contains immune cells and waste products, into the node for filtering and processing.
What structure carries lymph into a lymph node?
Afferent lymphatic vessels
Lymph leaves a lymph node via?
Lymph exits the node at its hilum, the indented region on the concave side, via efferent lymphatic vessels.
What is the only lymphatic organ with afferent vessels?
The lymph nodes are the only lymphatic organ with afferent vessels. Afferent vessels carry lymph fluid into the lymph nodes, where it is filtered and processed before being returned to circulation through efferent vessels.
What lymph vessel do the lymph node exit through?
Lymph nodes have efferent lymphatic vessels that drain lymph away from the node. These vessels carry filtered lymph containing immune cells and waste products back into the bloodstream.
What structure ensures a slow flow of the lymph nodes?
Lymph enters the lymph node through a series of afferent lymphatic vessels and exits the lymph node via efferent lymphatic vessels. There are more afferent lymphatic vessels than there are efferent lymphatic vessels, slowing down the flow. The reason the slow flow is desirable is that it allows time for lymphocytes and macrophages to carry out their protective functions of removing debris from lymph.
Lymphatic obstruction can lead to edema?
Yes, lymphatic obstruction can lead to edema because it impairs the drainage of excess fluid from the tissues, causing fluid buildup and swelling. This can occur from conditions such as lymph node dissection, infection, or injury to the lymphatic vessels.
A sentinel node is?
It is the first node in which the lymphatic drainage occura in a particular area.
What is sentinel node?

What is a sentinel node?

Does the lymph node system vessels form a continuous loop through body?
No, the system drains into the blood circulatory system via the left and right lymphatic ducts.
