16
Q

Passage of Lymph

A

Afferent Lymphatic vessels -> cortex -> cortical sinus -> medulla -> medullary sinuses -> efferent lymphatic vessles

17
Q

Hilum

A

Blood vessels and efferent lymphatic vessels

18
Q

Efferent Lymphatic Vessels

A

Allow for passage of lymph out of the node
Fewer than afferent, but are bigger in diameter
Include valves for one way flow

19
Q

Passage of Lymph (Body)

A

ALL Lymph enters the thoracic duct or right lymphatic duct and Drain into the subclavian vein and back to the heart.
Metastasis can be spread in this way.
