2. Types of Lymph Nodes
There are several types of lymph nodes. Their names are based on their location and include cervical lymph nodes located in the neck.
Other types include supraclavicular lymph nodes located above the collarbone, axillary lymph nodes found in the armpits, mediastinal lymph nodes located in the middle part of the chest, and inguinal, or groin, lymph nodes found in the groin. Lymph nodes found deep in the abdomen are called mesenteric lymph nodes, while those deep in the pelvis are called pelvic lymph nodes.
