Lymph Nodes Anatomy

Anatomy Of Lymph Nodes

• It is a small pea nut shaped lymphatic organ.

• It is covered by a capsule.

• At one place, a small depression will be present called as hilum.

• Just beneath the capsule, a narrow space will be present called as subcapsular sinus.

• The interior of the lymph nodes is divided into outer cortex and inner medulla.

• In the cortex, the lymphocytes are arranged in the form of round masses called as cortical nodules.

• In the medulla the lymphocytes are arranged as medullary cords.

• The afferent lymphatic vessel will divide into branches and they bears the capsule at different places enter the subcapsular sinus.

• The single efferent lymphatic vessel comes out of the helium.

Applied Anatomy :

• During infection the lymph nodes will enlarge called as lymphodenities, even in lower the regional lymph nodes will enlarged and even pain.
