Haemal node

Haemal nodes (hemel nodes in American English), also known as haemolymph nodes (hemolymph nodes) or splenolymph nodes, are lymphoid organs found in various mammals (especially prominent in ruminants)[1] and some birds.[2] Haemal nodes were first described by Gibbes in 1884.[3] Haemal nodes appear similar to lymph nodes in the structure of its lymphoid follicles and to the spleen in the structure in its lymphoid cords.[4] It is presumed to have the same function as the spleen.[5]
