List of lymph nodes of the human body

Humans have approximately 500–600 lymph nodes distributed throughout the body, with clusters found in the underarms, groin, neck, chest, and abdomen. == Lymph nodes of the head == Occipital lymph nodes Mastoid lymph nodes Parotid lymph nodes == Lymph nodes of the neck == Cervical lymph nodes Submental lymph nodes Submandibular lymph nodes Deep cervical lymph nodes Deep anterior cervical lymph nodes Deep lateral cervical lymph nodes Inferior deep cervical lymph nodes Jugulo-omohyoid lymph node Jugulodigastric lymph node Supraclavicular lymph nodes Virchow's node == Lymph nodes of the thorax == Lymph nodes of the lungs: The lymph is drained from the lung tissue through subsegmental, segmental, lobar and interlobar lymph nodes to the hilar lymph nodes, which are located around the hilum (the pedicle, which attaches the lung to the mediastinal structures, containing the pulmonary artery, the pulmonary veins, the main bronchus for each side, some vegetative nerves and the lymphatics) of each lung.
