Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the function of lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped structures that are part of the lymphatic system. They filter lymph fluid and house immune cells to help fight infections.

Step 2: Recognize the term 'superficial lymph nodes.' These are lymph nodes located close to the surface of the body, making them easier to palpate during a physical examination.

Step 3: Identify the three large clusters of superficial lymph nodes. These clusters are located in regions where the body has high concentrations of lymphatic vessels and are commonly examined for signs of infection or disease.

Step 4: Learn the anatomical locations of the three clusters: Cervical lymph nodes are located in the neck, axillary lymph nodes are found in the armpits, and inguinal lymph nodes are situated in the groin area.

Step 5: Compare the options provided in the question. The correct answer is the option that lists the cervical, axillary, and inguinal regions, as these are the locations of the three large clusters of superficial lymph nodes.
