Deltoideopectoral nodes: Situated between the pectoralis major and deltoid muscles inferior to the clavicle.Supratrochlear nodes: Situated above the medial epicondyle of the humerus, medial to the basilic vein, they drain the C7 and C8 dermatomes.The superficial nodes are supplied by lymphatics that are present throughout the arm, but are particularly rich on the palm and flexor aspects of the digits. These drain the whole of the arm, and are divided into two groups, superficial and deep. Through the mediastinum, the main lymphatic drainage from the abdominal organs goes via the thoracic duct ( ductus thoracicus), which drains majority of the lymph from the abdomen to the above mentioned left venous angle. That fact facilitates spreading of tumor cells through these lymphatics in cases of cancers of the stomach and particularly of the esophagus. Lymph nodes produce protein particles and macrophages that work together to capture and break down viruses and other immune invaders. Lymph nodes are also located in the neck, under the chin and in the armpits. The mediastinal lymph nodes along the esophagus are in tight connection with the abdominal lymph nodes along the esophagus and the stomach. The lymph nodes located in the pelvic area tend to swell in response to viruses and infections that are located in or around the groin. In the mediastinal lymph nodes arises lymphatic ducts, which drains the lymph to the left subclavian vein (to the venous angle in the confluence of the subclavian and deep jugular veins). Mediastinal lymph nodes: They consist of several lymph node groups, especially along the trachea (5 groups), along the esophagus and between the lung and the diaphragm.

Topics/Categories: Anatomy - Gynecologic. A significant issue during any swelling, due to the location, both men and women (especially men) avoid having these nodes checked by their health care professional. Description: Line drawing of a woman's pelvic area showing the aorta, fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus, cervix, and vagina. The lymph flows subsequently to the mediastinal lymph nodes. Inguinal lymph nodes are more commonly known as groin nodes (glands). Lymph nodes of the lungs: The lymph is drained from the lung tissue through subsegmental, segmental, lobar and interlobar lymph nodes to the hilar lymph nodes, which are located around the hilum (the pedicle, which attaches the lung to the mediastinal structures, containing the pulmonary artery, the pulmonary veins, the main bronchus for each side, some vegetative nerves and the lymphatics) of each lung.
