Neck lymph node levels play a significant role in diagnosing and treating various conditions, especially infections and cancers.
10 node groups are defined with a concise description of their main anatomic boundaries, the normal structures juxtaposed to these nodes, and the main tumor sites at risk for harboring metastases in those levels [1]
In this cervical lymph node map the levels were extended to 10. We have included descriptive pictures and diagrams at the relevant sections of this post to illustrate the various lymph node locations in the human body Besides, we have inserted a good lymph node location chart above You can still get more pictures, diagrams and charts of locations of lymph nodes by searching for them on the internet.
There are three main groups of lymph nodes within the head The lingual lymph nodes, facial lymph nodes and a group of lymph nodes which form a ring at the junction between the head and neck known as the pericervical lymphatic circle. Lymph nodes of the head and neck this drawing schematically depicts the major lymph nodes in the head and neck area that are likely to be enlarged on physical examination in patients with various local or systemic diseases The major nodal groups are shown here in bold, with the areas draining into these nodal groups noted when appropriate.

Their anatomy, function, and a diagram to understand their role in the immune system. In this note, we are going to discuss the main lymph node groups of the head and neck, as well as the lymphatic drainage pathways from various tissues and organs in these regions The lymph nodes of the head are organized into several regional groups:
