Lymph nodes are small solid structures in the groin, armpit, mesentery, and lymphatic system. They are primarily responsible for mounting immune responses against foreign antigens entering the tissues and contain both T and B lymphocytes and accessory cells. The lymphatic system also comprises the mucous membranes, bone marrow, thymus, spleen, and tonsils.
