Our lymph nodes are on the front lines of defense when it comes to fighting disease and infection. Sprinkled throughout the body, lymph nodes are filled with white blood cells, which patrol the lymphatic system for bodily bad guys. When these cells identify harmful invaders, they drag them back to the lymph node to be destroyed. You just might learn something lymphatic from the attached awesome hangtag.
