Verified step by step guidance

Understand the anatomical location of the popliteal region: The term 'popliteal' refers to the area located behind the knee joint. This is a key clue to identifying the location of the popliteal lymph nodes.

Recall the function of lymph nodes: Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped structures that filter lymph fluid and are part of the immune system. They are strategically located in areas where lymphatic vessels converge.

Identify the options provided: Analyze each option and determine which one corresponds to the anatomical location behind the knee. For example, 'At the top of the thigh near the groin' refers to the inguinal lymph nodes, not the popliteal lymph nodes.

Eliminate incorrect answers: The dorsum of the foot and the lateral side of the ankle are not associated with the popliteal region. These areas are part of the lower limb but do not correspond to the location of the popliteal lymph nodes.

Confirm the correct answer: Based on the anatomical understanding, the popliteal lymph nodes are located in the area behind the knee, which matches the description of the popliteal region.
