Which statement best describes how lymph nodes work in your body?
(Select one of the following answers)
Correct! According to a global survey, when asked if they know their nodes, only half (49 per cent) of people said they don't know what they do. Lymph nodes are actually the filters of the lymphatic system. They clean the lymph fluid and lymphocytes, removing bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances. The nodes are also responsible for the manufacture and storage of infection-fighting cells called lymphocytes.
