Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lymph nodes filter lymph, which is a fluid containing white blood cells and debris, including bacteria or other pathogens that enter through a wound. When you step on something and get a puncture wound on your foot or leg, the closest lymph nodes that would filter the lymph from that area are the lymph nodes of the groin. These nodes are part of the body's immune response, trapping and destroying pathogens.
