What Do Lymph Nodes Do?

3. Lymph Nodes
The lymphatic system works with help from the lymph nodes. These are small glands located in various locations around the body, and there are hundreds of them spread throughout the system. In some locations, such as in the armpits, neck, and groin, many of these nodes are clustered together and are more noticeable.
A lot of people are able to feel their lymph nodes in certain locations, especially those in the neck. They can be detectable by placing your fingers on the right area and feeling for them. These glands will become swollen sometimes, at which point they will become even more noticeable.
