Lymph is the fluid carrying the white blood cells. It protects the body against many infections. Lymph nodes are the small areas throughout the body and abundantly present in the neck, arm pits and groin areas. They contain the lymphocytes that fight infections. These nodes filter out harmful organisms and abnormal cells before the lymph reaches the blood. A swollen lymph node is an indication of an infection. It can be a minor infection like the ear infection, strep infection or serious medical problems like the lymphomas, other cancers and AIDS. During pharyngitis which is the inflammation of the pharynx, the lymph nodes swell with the T lymphocytes due to the immune response.

The height of wind formed waves depends on what three things?
Ganezh [65]
The height wind waves or waves generated by the wind are surface waves that occur on the surface of oceans, lakes, rivers, seas and canals etc. Waves can travel thousands of miles before reaching land. They range in size from small ripples to over 100 foot high. They are dependent on the following three things:
1. Wind speed - the height of waves is dependent on the speed of the wind. The faster the wind, the higher the waves and vice versa. 2. Wind direction - the height of waves is dependent on  whether the wind is blowing offshore or onshore. Offshore winds blow from the land onto the sea so tend to cause bigger waves3. Storm winds in a cyclone or hurricane. These winds travel in circles around the eye of the storm and are usually very high in intensity. Depending on the intensity of the wind and the speed at which the wind is travelling, the wave height will differ.
