Description
Lymph of the forearm is collected by vessels and nodes that are divided into superficial and deep groups. The superficial lymph nodes drain the skin and subcutaneous layers through the supratrochlear lymph nodes. The deep structures of the forearm, including the muscles and joints are drained via the ulnar and radial lymph nodes, which follow the ulnar and radial arteries, respectively.

Lymph Node
Lymph nodes are a part of the lymphatic system, which also includes lymphatic vessels that collect interstitial fluid or lymph (including invaded microbes in case of infections) from all vascularized tissues and discharge it into their draining lymph nodes.
