[TA] lymph node: any of the accumulations of lymphoid tissue organized as definite lymphoid organs, varying from 1 to 25 mm in diameter, situated along the course of lymphatic vessels, and consisting of an outer cortical and an inner medullary part. The lymph nodes are the main source of lymphocytes of the peripheral blood and, as part of the reticuloendothelial system, serve as a defense mechanism by removing noxious agents, such as bacteria and toxins, and probably play a role in antibody production. See illustration and Plate 26. Called also lymphonodus and n. lymphaticus [TA alternatives].Nodus lymphoideus (lymph node).
