Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The lymph nodes are small lymphoid organs, which have a fibrous capsule. They are present in different parts of the body. They consist of various lymphocytes, such as the B (bone marrow derived) cells and T (thymus dependent) cells. They are involved in raising the immune responses in the body. A lymph node comprises three structures that are the medulla, cortex, and paracortex.
