Flow of Lymph 

The lymph flows from the afferent vessels into the sinuses of the lymph node, and then out of the node through the efferent vessels.

This diagram of lymph flow indicates the afferent lymph vessels, trabeculae, medullary sinus, subcapsular sinus, slow flowing lymph, lymphocyte, reticular fiber, efferent lymph vessel, capsule, medulla, lymphocytes in outflowing lymph, blood vessel entering the hilum, and cortical sinus.
