Transport the lymph towards lymph nodes and eventually into the larger lymphatic ducts.

Site of T-cell maturation and selection, critical for developing the adaptive immune response.

Carries lymph from the lower and left side of the body into the bloodstream.

Drains lymph from the right upper limb, right side of the thorax, and the right halves of the head and neck into the bloodstream.

Produces lymphocytes and other blood cells, vital for creating the cellular components of the immune system.

Filter lymph and assist immune response by trapping pathogens and facilitating the activation of lymphocytes.

Prevent backflow of lymph within lymphatic vessels and ensure unidirectional flow.

Outer part of the lymph node containing follicles with germinal centers, B cells, and other immune cells.

Contribute to immune response by producing antibodies and destroying infected cells.

Inner part of the lymph node with medullary cords that contain plasma cells, macrophages, and lymphocytes.

Receives lymph from the lower body and is the starting point of the thoracic duct.

Carry lymph into a lymph node to be filtered.

Sites within lymph nodes where B cells proliferate and antibody responses are initiated.

Monitor intestinal bacteria populations and prevent the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the intestines.

Protects the mucous membranes of the digestive, respiratory, genital, and urinary tracts from pathogens.

Transport filtered lymph away from the lymph node.

Trap pathogens from food or air and activate lymphocytes.
