Artwork showing lymph nodes in the neck

Lymph nodes. Artwork showing the position of lymph nodes (green) in the neck. Lymph nodes are part of the lymphatic system, which helps protect against diseases and infections. The nodes contain white blood cells, which destroy bacteria and other invading organisms. Fluid from the bodys tissues drains through the lymph vessels and nodes, and is cleaned in the process, before being returned to the bloodstream. Also visible is a carotid artery (red), which carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the brain. The jugular vein (blue), carries deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Salivary glands (pink, upper centre) are also seen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate network of lymph nodes in the neck, shedding light on their vital role in our immune system. The green nodes are strategically positioned to protect us against diseases and infections, housing powerful white blood cells that combat harmful bacteria and invading organisms. As part of the remarkable lymphatic system, these nodes play a crucial role in maintaining our overall health. The lymph vessels and nodes act as a drainage system for fluid from various tissues throughout the body. This fluid undergoes thorough cleansing within the nodes before being returned to the bloodstream. It is through this meticulous process that our bodies maintain balance and defend against potential threats. In addition to highlighting the lymphatic system, this print also reveals other essential structures within the neck region. The vibrant red carotid artery symbolizes its significant function of transporting oxygenated blood from the heart to nourish our brain. Contrasting with it is the blue jugular vein responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood back towards the heart. Furthermore, nestled amidst this intricate anatomy are delicate pink salivary glands located at the upper center of attention. These glands contribute to saliva production, aiding digestion and ensuring oral health. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this artistic representation of human anatomy, providing us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into both beauty and functionality within our bodies' complex systems.
