Nerves And Lymph Nodes With Skeleton Body Stock Image

The human skeleton is the internal framework of the body. It is composed of around 270 bones at birth – this total decreases to around 206 bones by adulthood after some bones get fused together. The human skeleton can be divided into the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The nervous system is the part of an animal that coordinates its actions by transmitting signals to and from different parts of its body. Lymph nodes are major sites of B and T lymphocytes, and other white blood cells. Lymph nodes are important for the proper functioning of the immune system, acting as filters for foreign particles and cancer cells. Lymph nodes do not have a detoxification function, which is primarily dealt with by the liver and kidneys.
