Collections of lymphoid tissue situated in various points of lymphatic system (especially under the armpit and in the groin) through which lymph (colourless liquid containing white blood cells which circulates in the lymphatic system from all body tissue carrying waste material/matter away from tissues to the veins) passes and in which lymphocytes are produced. [The lymph is formed of water, protein and white blood cells (lymphocytes). Waste matter such as infection in the lymph is filtered out and destroyed as it passed through the lymph nodes/glands which then add further lymphocytes to lymph before it continues in the system]. (2) Image = (I) Likeness of a person/thing, especially a portrait, statue, photograph, etc. (II) an optical reproduction of a physical object, (III) a reproduction of an object formed by sound waves or electomagnetic radiation, eg. an ultrasound scan or X-ray photograph.

মিৎ
(Mit): Eye the organ of sight or the part of the body with which a person sees. It is a three layered roughly spherical structure for receiving and responding to light. The outer fibrous coat consists of the sclera and the transparent cornea: the middle vascular layer comprises the choroid, ciliary body and iris, and the inner sensory layer is the retina. Light enters the eye through the cornea, which refracts the light through the aqueous humur onto the lens. By adjustment of the shape of the lens light is focused through the vitreous humur onto the retina. In the retina light sensitive cells [cone (one of the two types of light sensitive cells in the retina. The human retina contains 6-7 million cones which functions best in bright light and are essential for acute vision or receiving a sharp accurate image cones can also distinguish colours. It is thought that there are three types of cone, each sensitive to the wavelenght of different primary colours - red, green or blue. Other colours are seen as combinations of these three primary colours) and rod ( one of the two types of light sensitive cells in the retina. The human eye contains about 125 million rods which are necessary for seeing in dim light. They contains a pigment rhodopsin or visual purple which is broken down or bleached in the light and regenerated the dark. Breakdown of the visual purple give rise to nerve impulses. when all th pigments is bleached that is in the bright light the rods no longer function). send nerve impulses to the brain via the optive nerve. The arrangement of the two eyes at the front of the head provides Binocular vision. Each eye is contained on an orbit and movement of the eye within the orbit is controlled by extrinsic eye muscle.
