Lymph nodes are composed of masses of lymphocytes and other cells which serve the function in humans of fighting off foreign bodies including bacteria and viruses. Lymph nodes are a central part of the human immune system. Lymphatic ducts carry lymph fluid into and out of lymph nodes. This is one of the ways that immune cells travel to all parts of the body. Cancers of the lymph nodes are called lymphomas of which the most well known is Hodgkins Disease.
