Pelvic and inguinal lymph nodes

Immune filters along the pelvic vessels and in the groin.

What it does

Lymph nodes run along the iliac arteries in the pelvis and in the groin. They drain the legs, the lower abdominal wall and the pelvic organs, and the groin nodes can become swollen and tender with an infected cut on the leg or foot.
