Lymphatic gland

A lymph node or lymph gland (lat. gllandula limfatica) is a peripheral organ of the lymphatic system of animals and humans, which is a lymphoid formation. Lymphoglobulins are immunoglobulin, acid-soluble products of antibody metabolism. They are substances of cellular immunity.

This article is devoted to lymph nodes and their role in the human body. Let's start by defining "lymphatic glands," which are lymphatic follicles consisting of lymphatic sinuses and the blood-brain barrier. They are found in connective tissue where they connect to blood capillaries and lymphatic channels. They all contain white blood cells, which play an important role in protecting the body from infection and inflammation. The lymphatic tissue is the community of lymph nodes that supplies the body's structures with the flow of lymph and lymphatic-draining arteries.

The functions of the lymph node are as follows:

- It is a filter for biological fluid (lymph) containing the immune system. - Lymph also contains immunocytes responsible for destroying infectious agents. - Protecting blood vessels from infections.

Humans have a lymph node system that helps with the immune system.
