Within the lymph nodes, lymph is &#8220;filtered&#8221; by macrophages, as they have the opportunity to encounter antigens carried by the lymph, destroy microorganisms, and trigger an immune response.<br \/>\nIn the figure, the arrows point to macrophages located inside a lymph node.<br \/>\nNote that the cytoplasm of one of the macrophages appears &#8220;foamy&#8221; or vacuolated.
