3. Inflammation of the nodes: buboes; Lymph nodes can become cancerous tissues and metastesize. Other Lymphoid Organs. Spleen: Filters and purifies lymph nodes. (macrophages and lymphocytes in spleen fights bacteria, toxins and viruses, removes cellular debris). Distributes and recycles aged RBC);.
1. The macrophages and lymphocytes within lymph nodes filter lymph and remove bacteria and cellular debris before lymph is returned to the blood. 2.
