General
The lymph nodes of the neck are organized into the following lymph centres: superficial cervical (lymphocentrum cervicale superficiale) and deep cervical (lymphocentrum cervicale profundum). The deep cervical lymph centre is divided into 3 subgroups: the cranial cervical lymph node (Ln. cervicalis profundus cranialis), the middle cervical lymph node (Ln. cervicalis profundus medius) and the caudal cervical lymph node (Ln. cervicalis profundus caudalis).
