Inguinal lymph nodes filter lymph from the lower limb from "summary" of Bd Chaurasia's Human Anatomy, Volumes 3 & 4 by B. D. Chaurasia
The inguinal lymph nodes are a group of lymph nodes located in the inguinal region of the body. They play a crucial role in the lymphatic system, which is responsible for maintaining fluid balance in the body and defending against infections.
These lymph nodes act as filters for the lymphatic fluid that circulates throughout the body. The lymphatic fluid carries waste products, pathogens, and other harmful substances away from tissues and organs, helping to maintain a healthy internal environment.
The lymphatic fluid from the lower limb is drained into the inguinal lymph nodes. This means that lymph from areas such as the foot, ankle, and calf passes through these nodes before moving on to the rest of the lymphatic system.
Once the lymphatic fluid reaches the inguinal lymph nodes, it is filtered and purified. The lymph nodes contain immune cells that help to identify and neutralize any harmful substances present in the lymph, such as bacteria or viruses.
After passing through the inguinal lymph nodes, the purified lymphatic fluid continues its journey through the lymphatic vessels, eventually returning to the bloodstream. This process helps to maintain the body's immune response and prevent the spread of infections throughout the body.
