Lymph nodes are also known as lymph glands, or just glands, and form part of the lymphatic system. They are tiny, bean-shaped clusters of cells found in groups or chains throughout the body. Lymph nodes are the most important component of the immune system and within these glands, lymphocytes (immune cells) exist. Glands consist of lymphatic tissue surrounded by a capsule of connective tissue and are located in the armpits, on either side of the neck, inside the chest, abdomen, pelvis and in the groin.
