Lymph nodes are small clumps of immune cells that act as filters for the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system runs throughout the body (like the circulatory (blood) system) and carries fluid and cells.The lymph nodes in the underarm (the axillary lymph nodes) are the first place breast cancer is likely to spread.Figure 4.4 shows the location of the axillary lymph nodes.he lymphatic system runs throughout the body (like the circulatory (blood) system) and carries fluid and cells.

A fluid called lymph, (lymph = clear fluid) flows in lymphatic vessels, lymphatic tissue and red bone marrow. Fluid filters out of capillaries and drains into lymphatic vessels to become lymph. The content of lymph is the same as interstitial fluid, the fluid around tissue cells.econdary lymphoid tissues are arranged as a series of filters monitoring the contents of the extracellular fluids, i.e. lymph, tissue fluid and blood. The lymphoid tissue filtering each of these fluids is arranged in different ways. Secondary lymphoid tissues are also where lymphocytes are activated.
