The preaortic lymph nodes lie in front of theaorta , and may be divided intoceliac lymph nodes ,superior mesenteric lymph nodes , andinferior mesenteric lymph nodes groups, arranged around the origins of the corresponding arteries.They receive a few vessels from the
lateral aortic glands , but their principal afferents are derived from the viscera supplied by the three arteries with which they are associated.Some of their efferents pass to the
retroaortic glands , but the majority unite to form theintestinal trunk , which enters thecisterna chyli .
