Its subsidiary groups are: (a)mesenteric, (b) ileocolic and (c) mesocolic nodes. (a) The mesenteric nodes, comprising from 100 to 150, lie betweenthe layers of the mesentery. One group lies close to the intestinalwall, another around the loops and primary branches of the arteryand a third along the main stem of the artery. The lymph from thesmall intestine drains through the first group, then into and throughthe second and then through the third group and is then carriedto the superior mesenteric nodes. \,e5tPa. rata, ^ \ an \* 1 TT5 >£^ *l. .v^- Fig. Ipr.—Lymph nodes and lymphatic drainage of the stomach. (b) The ileocolic nodes, about twenty to thirty, form a chain alongthe ileocolic artery. The main subgroups are the ileal, along theileal branch of the superior mesenteric artery; the ventral ileocolicnear the front of the cecum; the dorsal ileocolic, in the angle betweenthe ileum and the colon; the appendicular along the appendix andparacolic along the medial side of the ascending and transverse nodes drain the lower part of the ileum, cecum, appendix andascending colon and empty the lymph into the superior mesentericnodes.
