i dont know yet
Lymph glands (lymph nodes) are not found where peripheral lymphatics connect with a lymphatic capillary. Lymphatic capillaries merge to form larger lymphatic vessels, and lymph nodes are located along the course of lymphatic vessels, not at the connection point of peripheral lymphatics and lymphatic capillaries. They are found in areas like the base of the neck, axillae, and groin. While they are important lymph nodes, they are not the largest (spleen is larger in some aspects but is a different lymphoid organ; in terms of lymph nodes, there are variations but the statement about being the largest is not a key wrong - in - location fact here). Swollen glands do indicate inflammation or infection in related peripheral structures.
