Parotid lymph nodes

The Parotislymphknoten ( Lymponodi [ Lnn. ] Parotid or Lnn. Preauriculares or lymph nodes [ lymph nodes ]. Preauriculares ) are a group of lymph nodes in the head area. They are the people on the parotid gland ( parotid ) or embedded in the glandular tissue, covered with many other mammals below the jaw joint on the rear edge of the mandible and wholly or partially of the parotid gland. In comparative anatomy, they are also summarized for Lymphocentrum parotideum.

The Parotislymphknoten received human lymph from the parotid gland, the eyelids, the conjunctiva, parts of the nose and the outer ear canal. When the pets they receive lymph from the superficial cranial bone of the posterior half of the head, the jaw joint in pigs and cattle and the upper part of the mouth, parts of the nasal cavity are, however, only filtered in sheep and goats from these lymph nodes.
