Question
identify the parts of the lymphatic system: lymph nodes
The lymphatic system has several key components. Lymph nodes are small, bean - shaped structures that filter lymph fluid, trapping bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances. They are located throughout the body in clusters. In the image, the labeled parts are likely to be major groups of lymph nodes such as axillary (armpit), inguinal (groin), and cervical (neck) lymph nodes. The thymus (1) is an organ of the lymphatic system involved in T - cell development, the spleen (2) filters blood and is part of the immune - lymphatic system, the thoracic duct (4) is a major lymphatic vessel, and axillary lymph nodes (5) are in the armpit area.
