They drain the ulnar side of the hand and forearm, and pour their lymph into the axillary group. The epi-trochlear gland is sometimes enlarged in syphilis.
The lymph spaces and blood-channels of the eye are large, as compared with the mass of its tissue colloids. In these spaces and channels must be sought a means for rapid response to the need for regulation of intra-ocular tension.
Now when this blood in its circulation flows through the active tissues for instance, the muscles it is again placed under conditions where osmosis is sure to occur. In the muscles the thin-walled blood-vessels are surrounded and bathed by a liquid called lymph. The lymph, which is not shown, fills all the space outside the blood-vessels, thus bathing both muscles and blood-vessels.
The cervical lymph glands, as well as the lungs, spleen, and liver, may be the seat of secondary nodules. In man, acute glanders is commoner than the chronic variety.

The neighbouring glands, also, are generally enlarged and tender.

If the faster is too weak to move, massage and assisted movements are essential. Lymph nodes are also a part of our immune system and produce white blood cells to help control invading organisms. When the lymph is overloaded with waste products the ducts and nodes swell, and until the source of the local irritation is removed, are incapable of handling further debris.
A puncture at the thickened portion enabled us to secure a small amount of lymph mixed with blood, which was sowed at the same time as some blood taken from the finger of the hand. The following days, the blood from the finger remained absolutely sterile: but that obtained from the center of the forming furuncle gave an abundant growth of the same small organism as before. Third observation.
Prob'ly all because the Agathites are scratching 'er paint. Well, rub along, Alf. I've got the lymph!" A voice, which Mr. He did not wish to purchase any fish, even at grossly reduced rates.
