Haemal node

Hemal nodes (haemel nodes in British English), also known as hemolymph nodes (haemolymph nodes) or splenolymph nodes, are lymphoid organs found in various mammals (especially prominent in ruminants)^[1] and some birds.^[2] Hemal nodes were first described by Gibbes in 1884.^[3] Hemal 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]
