Small, rounded structures along the small vessels of the lymphatic system that are part of the immune system.
Lymph nodes are tiny spherical structures the size of a pin head in groups into which the lymphatic vessels drain through afferent vessels.

Popliteal, inguinal, iliac, abdominal, axillary, cubital and cervical are examples of groups of lymph nodes.
