The superficial lateral cervical lymph nodes are arranged along the external jugular vein, with a number of up to 10 to 15. They are arranged around the internal jugular vein, starting from the base of the skull and ending at the base of the neck. A few lymph nodes are located around the accessory nerve. The lymph nodes at the base of the neck are often arranged along the subclavian artery and brachial plexus. It collects lymph from the occipital gland, behind the ear and parotid gland, and injects it into the deep lateral cervical lymph nodes. The deep lateral cervical lymph nodes are arranged longitudinally along the internal cervical vein and are divided into upper and lower groups by the inferior belly of the omohyoid muscle. The superior lateral cervical deep lymph nodes are located in the upper thoracic segment of the internal jugular vein. They receive drainage from the nasopharyngeal, palatine tonsils, tongue, submental, submandibular, and anterior cervical lymph nodes and are injected into the inferior lateral cervical deep lymph nodes or directly into the cervical trunk.
