inguinal region
Solution
The major locations for clusters of lymph nodes in the body are:
Axillary region
Inguinal region
Pelvic cavity
Supratrochlear region
Explanation for each option:
Supratrochlear region: This is a correct option. Lymph nodes are present in the supratrochlear region, which is located near the elbow.
Patellar region: This is incorrect. The patellar region, located around the knee, is not a major site for lymph node clusters.
Carpal region: This is incorrect. The carpal region, located around the wrist, does not have a significant cluster of lymph nodes.
Pelvic cavity: This is a correct option. The pelvic cavity contains lymph nodes that are part of the body's lymphatic system.
Axillary region: This is a correct option. The axillary region, located under the arms, is a major site for lymph node clusters.
Inguinal region: This is a correct option. The inguinal region, located in the groin area, contains a significant cluster of lymph nodes.
In summary, the correct locations for clusters of lymph nodes are the supratrochlear region, pelvic cavity, axillary region, and inguinal region.
