Question

Did you know? You have about 600 lymph nodes in your body — small bean-shaped stations that filter immune cells. When you're sick they swell and you can feel them under your armpits or neck. Lymph fluid (1-2 litres/day) circulates through a separate vessel system; unlike blood it has no pump and must be moved by muscle action.
