INTRODUCTION
Lymphatic system consist of fluid called LYMPH
DEFINITION:Transparent, slightly yellowish liquid of alkaline reaction found in lymphatic vessel and derived from tissue fluid
Lymphatic system is absent in: -C.N.S. -Cornea -Superficial layer of skin -bones -alveoli of lung

DEVELOPMENT
Starts at 5th week of intrauterine life. First signs of lymphatic system are
seen in the form of a number of endothelium lined lymph sacs
![Page 6: Introduction History of lymphatic system Development of lymphatic system Lymph Lymph node Lymph nodes of head and neck Examination on neck](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649d205503460f949f49ef/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

SIX PRIMARY LYMPH SACS ARE FORMED.2 Jugular sacs (right and left) At the junction of subclavian and anterior cardinal veins.
2 iliac sac (right and left) At the junction of the iliac and posterior cardinal vein.
Retroperitonial sac (Unpaired) Near the root of the mesentery.
Cisterna chyli (unpaired) Dorsal to retroperitonial sac
All the sacs except the cisterna chyli are invaded by connective tissue and lymphocytes and are converted into lymph nodes

COMPOSITION OF THE LYMPH
![Page 8: Introduction History of lymphatic system Development of lymphatic system Lymph Lymph node Lymph nodes of head and neck Examination on neck](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649d205503460f949f49ef/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Rate of lymph flow: About 120ml of lymph flows into
blood
![Page 9: Introduction History of lymphatic system Development of lymphatic system Lymph Lymph node Lymph nodes of head and neck Examination on neck](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649d205503460f949f49ef/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Rate of flow of lymph along the human thoracic duct is from 1-1.5ml/min.
Regulation of the lymph flow mainly depends upon :
Interstitial pressureAtrial pulsation Intrathorasic pressureMuscular massage
![Page 10: Introduction History of lymphatic system Development of lymphatic system Lymph Lymph node Lymph nodes of head and neck Examination on neck](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649d205503460f949f49ef/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

FORMATION OF LYMPH
Lymph is formed from tissue fluid,anything that increases amount of tissue fluid, will increase the rate of lymph formation
Various mechanisms: Filteration from plasma normally exceeds
resorption leading to net formation of tissue fluid
Increase in interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure favouring the movement of tissue fluid into lymphatic capillary forming lymph

LYMPH MOVEMENT
It takes place with the help of:Contractile skeletal musclePresence of valve Contraction of smooth muscle in
large lymphatic trunkPressure change in muscle during
breathing

Before Lymph is returned to the blood stream, it passes through at least one lymph node and often through several
The Lymph vessels that carry lymph to a lymph node are referred to as afferent & those that transport it away from a node are called efferent vessels
![Page 15: Introduction History of lymphatic system Development of lymphatic system Lymph Lymph node Lymph nodes of head and neck Examination on neck](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649d205503460f949f49ef/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

STRUCTURE OF LYMPH NODE Lymph nodes are oval-shaped of bean-shaped
structures Some are as small as a pinhead and others as
large as a lima bean Each lymph node is enclosed by a fibrous capsule Once lymph enters the node, it "percolates"
slowly through the spaces known as sinuses before draining into a single efferent draining vessel.
One-way valves in both the afferent and efferent vessels keep lymph flowing in one direction
![Page 17: Introduction History of lymphatic system Development of lymphatic system Lymph Lymph node Lymph nodes of head and neck Examination on neck](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649d205503460f949f49ef/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Fibrous septa or trabeculae extend from the covering capsule toward the center of the node.
Cortical nodules found within the sinuses along the outer region of the node are separated from each other by these trabeculae.
Each cortical nodule is composed of packed lymphocytes that surround a less dense area called a germinal center.
When an infection is present, germinal centers form and the node begins to release lymphocytes.
![Page 19: Introduction History of lymphatic system Development of lymphatic system Lymph Lymph node Lymph nodes of head and neck Examination on neck](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649d205503460f949f49ef/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Lymphocytes begin their final stages of maturation within the germinal center of the nodule and then are pushed to the more densely packed outer layers as they mature to become antibody-producing plasma cells.
The center or medulla of a lymph node is composed of sinuses and cords.
Both the cortical and medullary sinuses are lined with specialized reticuloendothelial cells (fixed macrophages) which are capable of phagocytosis

membrane and drains subgottic region of larynx and pyriform sinuses

EXAMINATION OF NECK NODES
Examination of neck nodes is important, particularly in head and neck malignancies and a systematic approach should be followed.
Neck nodes are better palpated while standing at the back of the patient.
Neck is slightly flexed to achieve relaxation of muscles

When a node or nodes are palpable, look for the following points:
(i) Location of nodes(ii) Number of nodes(iii) Size – Abnormal NodesGreater than 1.5 c.m. in jugulo digastric area (level 1,2,3)Greater than 1 c.m. elsewhere.(iv) Consistency. Metastatic nodes are hard;lymphoma
nodes are firm and rubbery; hyperplastic nodes are soft. Nodes of metastatic melanoma are also soft.
(v) Discrete or matted nodes.(vi) Tenderness. Inflammatory nodes are tender.(vii) Fixity to overlying skin or deeper structures. Mobility
should be checked both in the vertical and horizontal planes

CERVICAL LYMPHADENOPATHY

LYMPHADENITIS AND LYMPHADENOPATHY
Lymphadenitis is an infection in the lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are glands that are part of the immune system. They help the body fight infection by filtering germs. They become enlarged when infection is present.
Lymphadenopathy is usually a normal response of the lymph nodes to an infection elsewhere in the body.

Antibiotic Therapy of CervicalLymphadenopathy
Suspected Staphylococcus aureus or Group A Beta-hemolytic Streptococcus Infection
For children who do not appear toxic and have no apparent abscess or cellulitis, Oral empiric therapy with cephalexin, oxacillin, or clindamycin
For ill-appearing children who have abscess formation or cellulitis,node aspiration and intravenous therapy with cefazolin, nafcillin or oxacillin, or clindamycin
Suspected Infection With Anaerobic Bacteria For children who have cervical lymphadenitis
associated with periodontal disease, node aspiration and therapy with penicillin or clindamycin
![Page 85: Introduction History of lymphatic system Development of lymphatic system Lymph Lymph node Lymph nodes of head and neck Examination on neck](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649d205503460f949f49ef/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
85
Suspected Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Infection Surgical excision of the infected lymph node without
antibiotic therapy For patients in whom surgery is not feasible, a macrolide-
containing multidrug antimycobacterial regimenCat-scratch Disease Following needle aspiration and PCR diagnosis of
Bartonella infection, no antimicrobial therapy in patients who have uncomplicated lymphadenopathy.
Surgical removal of nodes infected with Bartonella frequently results in persistent drainage and poor wound healing. Repeated node aspiration for management of suppurative lymphadenopathy caused by Bartonella infection
