Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped structures that are part of the lymphatic system, playing a crucial role in immune function by filtering lymph fluid and trapping pathogens. They contain lymphocytes, such as B cells and T cells, which help the body respond to infections. Lymph nodes are distributed throughout the body, with clusters located in areas like the neck, armpits, and groin. Swelling of lymph nodes can indicate an infection or other medical conditions.
