Lymph Nodes Sternal

The sternal lymph nodes (LSN) are a group of lymph nodes located between the collarbone and the chest. LGUs play an important role in the body's immune defense, participating in the filtration of lymph and the removal of pathogenic microorganisms from it.

The location of LGUs on the sternum between the collarbone allows them to effectively filter the lymph passing through the chest and remove germs and other foreign particles from it. In addition, LGUs are involved in the production of antibodies and other protective factors that help the body fight infections.

However, despite their importance, LGUs can also harbor bacteria and other pathogens, which can lead to the development of infections in the area. Therefore, it is important to monitor the health of LGUs and, if necessary, treat them.

Lymph nodes located on both sides of the clavicle are called: * parasternal or sternal - further * lymphatic sternolateral nodes * (from Latin sternum chest + medialaterals on both sides) * lymphatic sternal gland * (Latin glandula sternalis);

or

*glands of the mammary glands* - lat. Glenidus terestrialis

Sternal - lymph nodes are formed by loose fibrous connective tissue. Their structure is not as complex as other formations of the lymph node system. Each such node consists of two protrusions:

1. Cone with a small hole. 2. Roots or legs.
