The lymph nodes in the cervical region (neck) are responsible for filtering and destroying pathogens present in the lymph fluid returning from the head and neck region. The thoracic lymph nodes are located in the chest and primarily receive lymphatic drainage from the chest wall, while the axillary lymph nodes are located in the armpit and primarily receive lymphatic drainage from the upper limb. The inguinal lymph nodes are located in the groin and primarily receive lymphatic drainage from the lower limb and genital region.
