The jugulodigastric lymph nodes are found in the proximity of where the posterior belly of the digastric muscle crosses the internal jugular vein. Nodes are typically around 15 mm in length in adults, and decrease in size during old age. [1] They tend to be some of the largest lymph nodes in the cervical chain due to their significant lymphatic ...
Lymphatic system. Drains to. Jugular trunk. Identifiers. Latin. nodi lymphoidei cervicales profundi. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The deep cervical lymph nodes are a group of cervical lymph nodes in the neck [1] that form a chain along the internal jugular vein within the carotid sheath.
The superficial lateral cervical lymph nodes are found along the course of the external jugular vein, between the inferior aspect of the parotid gland and the supraclavicular nodes. The nodes are intercalated along the course of the vessels draining the parotid nodes and the infraauricular nodes. These nodes drain into the supraclavicular nodes ...
The superior deep cervical lymph nodes are the deep cervical lymph nodes that are situated adjacent to the superior portion of the internal jugular vein. They drain either to the inferior deep cervical lymph nodes or into the jugular trunk. [1] Most of these lymph nodes are situated deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle, though some are not. [1]
Cervical lymph nodes. Cervical lymph nodes are lymph nodes found in the neck. Of the 800 lymph nodes in the human body, 300 are in the neck. [4] Cervical lymph nodes are subject to a number of different pathological conditions including tumours, infection and inflammation. [5]
The tonsil is the most common site of squamous cell carcinoma in the oropharynx. It comprises 23.1% of all malignancies of the oropharynx. [1] The tumors frequently present at advanced stages, and around 70% of patients present with metastasis to the cervical lymph nodes. [2] . The most reported complaints include sore throat, otalgia or dysphagia.
Submental lymph nodes. Superficial lymph glands and lymphatic vessels of head and neck. (Buccinator glands labeled at center right.) The submental lymph nodes (or suprahyoid lymph nodes[citation needed]) are 2-3 lymph nodes [1] situated in the submental triangle, [1] between the anterior bellies of the digastric muscle and the hyoid bone. [2]
The lateral cervical lymph nodes are a group of lymph nodes found in the lateral side of the neck. Terminologia Anatomica divides them into: Superficial lateral cervical lymph nodes. Deep lateral cervical lymph nodes. Another source divides this group into "internal jugular", "spinal accessory", and "transverse cervical".
