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.

lymph. A clear, transparent, sometimes faintly yellow and slightly opalescent fluid that is collected from the tissues throughout the body, flows in the lymphatic vessels (through the lymph nodes), and is eventually added to the venous blood circulation.hen this fluid is drained from the tissues and collected by the lymphatic system, it is called lymph. The lymphatic system eventually returns the lymph to the blood, where it again becomes plasma. This movement of fluid through the body is described under circulatory system.
