Lymph nodes are very small clusters of immune cells that function as part of the bodyâs immune system. There are more than 600 lymph nodes throughout the body, but the ones most frequently enlarged or swollen are the lymph nodes in the neck, under the chin, in the armpits, and in the groin.
Lymph also carries white blood cells, which are responsible for protecting the body against viruses and bacteria and may trap cancer cells. Lymph nodes are located throughout the body but the largest groupings are found in the neck, armpits, and groin areas. Swollen lymph nodes may be a sign that the body is dealing with an infection, injury, or cancer. Image Source: MedicineNet, Inc.Text Reference: Lymph Nodes and Cancer.. American Cancer Society.
