Lymph Nodes<br />
• Principal lymphoid organs of the body<br />
• Embedded in connective tissue, in clusters<br />
along lymphatic vessels<br />
• Near the body surface in inguinal, axillary, <strong>and</strong><br />
cervical regions of the body<br />
• Key point: lymph nodes filter lymph -- only<br />
lymph nodes have afferent <strong>and</strong> efferent<br />
connections to the lymphatic vessels<br />
