Lymph node
Lymph nodes are components of the lymphatic system. They are sometimes informally called lymph glands but, as they do not secrete substances, such terminology is not entirely accurate. They are found mostly in the neck area.
Lymph nodes are filters or traps for foreign particles and contain white blood cells.
