The 17 pages that link to Lymph node, each with the reason it gives.

• Lymphatic systemBroader topic: Nodes inspect lymph as it passes through the system.

• Bone marrowCompared with: It supports immune responses but does not normally produce most blood cells.

• LymphomaBroader topic: Lymph nodes are common sites where lymphoma cells collect and form tumors.

• Cancer stagingRelated: Regional lymph-node involvement supplies the N component of TNM staging.

• Dendritic cellRelated: Migrating dendritic cells carry tissue antigens to lymph nodes for T-cell priming.

• LymphRelated: Lymph passes through nodes, where foreign material can be detected and trapped.

• SpleenCompared with: Unlike lymph nodes, the spleen monitors blood rather than lymph.

• ThymusCompared with: Lymph nodes activate mature lymphocytes rather than carrying out thymic selection.

• Chronic lymphocytic leukemiaRelated: Lymph-node niches provide CLL cells with signals that support their persistence.

• Hodgkin lymphomaNarrower topic: Hodgkin lymphoma most often begins in lymph nodes.

• Lymphatic capillaryNarrower topic: Material collected by capillaries can reach lymph nodes through afferent lymphatic vessels.

• Lymphatic vesselRelated: Lymphatic vessels carry lymph into and out of these filtering sites.

• TonsilCompared with: Unlike lymph nodes, tonsils sample material from mucosal surfaces rather than filtering lymph.

• Lymphoid tissueBroader topic: Lymph nodes are encapsulated sites where lymphoid tissue samples lymph.

• Bone marrow cellsCompared with: Unlike marrow, lymph nodes primarily organize immune responses rather than produce most blood cells.

• Hemic and Immune SystemsBroader topic: They concentrate immune cells where material carried from tissues can be examined.

• Immune system phenomenaRelated: Lymph nodes concentrate the encounters that initiate many adaptive responses.
