Additional information :

Lymph enters the lymph node flowing through several afferent vessels. Lymph nodes are encapsulated, bean shaped structure. They are 2-10 mm in diameter. After entering into the lymph node, lymph passes through cortex, paracortex and medulla of the node and then exit through efferent lymphatic vessel. The cortex region contain lymphocytes (specially B lymphocytes) and macrophage, both of these acts to trap foreign particles and filter the lymph.
