LYMPH NODE

lymph node: translation

(= lymph gland)
Small organ made up of a loose meshwork of reticular tissue in which are enmeshed large numbers of lymphocytes, macrophages, and accessory cells. Recirculating lymphocytes leave the blood through the specialized high endothelial venules of the lymph node and pass through the node before being returned to the blood through the lymphatic system. Because the lymph nodes act as drainage points for tissue fluids, they are also regions in which foreign antigens present in the tissue fluid are most likely to begin to elicit an immune response.
