Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of lymph nodes: Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped structures that filter lymph, a fluid containing white blood cells, which helps the body fight infection.

Identify the location of cervical lymph nodes: Cervical lymph nodes are located in the neck region.

Consider the drainage area: Lymph nodes filter lymph from specific regions of the body. Cervical lymph nodes are primarily responsible for filtering lymph from the head and neck region.

Eliminate incorrect options: The upper limbs, abdominal cavity, and lower limbs are not primarily drained by cervical lymph nodes.

Conclude with the correct region: Based on the location and function of cervical lymph nodes, they filter lymph draining from the head and neck region.
