What Is Lymph?

5. Lymph Nodes
As the lymph circulates around the body, it will occasionally come to what are known as lymph nodes. These nodes are glands that hold a lot of white blood cells, among other things, and these blood cells will attack anything that should not be there as the lymph passes through.
Lymph nodes are found in numerous locations in the body. Most notably in the groin, under the armpits, and in the neck. A lot of people will be able to find the lymph nodes in their neck by feeling them through their skin. Sometimes, these lymph nodes will have a lot of work to do, and this can cause them to become swollen.
