The Lymph Glands of the Head

Superficial lymph glands and lymphatic vessels of head and neck.

The lymph glands of the head are arranged in the following groups:

Occipital

Posterior Auricular
Anterior Auricular
Parotid

Facial

Deep Facial
Lingual
Retropharyngeal

The occipital glands (lymphoglandulæ occipitales), one to three in nu ber, are placed on the back of the head close to the margin of the Trapezius and resting on the insertion of the Semispinalis capitis. Their afferent vessels drain the occipital region of the scalp, while their efferents pass to the superior deep cervical glands.

The posterior auricular glands (lymphoglandulæ auriculares; mastoid glands), usually two in number, are situated on the mastoid insertion of the Sternocleidomastoideus, beneath the Auricularis posterior. Their afferent vessels drain the posterior part of the temporoparietal region, the upper part of the cranial surface of the auricula or pinna, and the back of the external acoustic meatus; their efferents pass to the superior deep cervical glands.
