Lymph Nodes Pyloric

Lymphoid tissue covering the mouth of the stomach; in gynecology, a lymph node located in the wall of the pelvis near the opening of the gallbladder. Their size from pea to pea, their shape and surface are highly variable. During surgical operations in some patients in the abdominal cavity, it is possible to detect lymphatic gaps between the organs of the esophagus and stomach. Often around the pylorus a thin round shaped connected gland (“pyloric node”) is identified. The importance of this formation lies in the fact that there is a significant production of gastric juice secretions, which enter the ampulla of the first part of the duodenum and the lower pole of the pylorus, where lymph accumulations called “lymph-forming centers” are located. Increased hyperplasia of lymphocytes in this area is detected in chronic and autoimmune gastritis, as well as recurrent intestinal bleeding

The pharyngeal lymphatic ring, which drains the mucous membrane of the back of the pharynx, ensures the flow of lymph into the gastrointestinal tract. The subpharyngeal ring serves as the beginning for the upper alimentary duct, the beginning of which in infancy lies in the premaxillary, in older age - in the submandibular and sublingual lymph node.

**Lymph node Pyloric (LNP) -** these are organs that are located in the digestive tract and perform a protective function against bacterial infection. They are part of the lymphatic system and are essential for maintaining health. In this article, we will review the functions, structure, and diseases associated with the LUP.

LUP structure

Health care facilities are located on the border between the stomach and duodenum. Each of them is the size of a pea and consists of two chambers formed by connective tissue. Inside these chambers are lymphatic vessels and areas of tissue called lymphoid tissue or lymphocytes. Health care facilities contain white blood cells - lymphocytes, which respond to infections and provide protection to the body.
