1 Since the lymphatic system does not have a heart to pump it, its upward movement depends on the motions of the muscle and joint pumps. 2  As it moves upward toward the neck the lymph passes through lymph nodes which filter it to remove debris and pathogens. Lymph nodes also trap and destroy cancer cells to slow the spread of the cancer until they are overwhelmed by it. 2  Efferent lymphatic vessels carry the filtered lymph out of the node so that it can continue its return to the circulatory system.
Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped glands throughout the body. They are part of the lymph system, which carries fluid (lymph fluid), nutrients, and waste material between the body tissues and the bloodstream.The lymph system is an important part of the immune system, the body's defense system against disease.The lymph nodes filter lymph fluid as it flows through them, trapping bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances, which are then destroyed by special white blood cells called lymphocytes.ymph nodes often swell in one location when a problem such as an injury, infection, or tumor develops in or near the lymph node. Which lymph nodes are swollen can help identify the problem. 1  The glands on either side of the neck, under the jaw, or behind the ears commonly swell when you have a cold or sore throat.
