Lymph Node
Explanation

Lymph nodes are small and bean-shaped and sit along the lymphatic vessels in your lymphatic system. They are found all over your body, in fact you can probably feel some of them in your armpits or your neck.

They trap foreign invaders, like germs, and contain lymphocytes, so they are very important in making sure that your immune system works properly.
