I had a recent test question on lymph drainage from an ankle injury.
Is there a comprehensive image or table that states which lymph node different parts of the body drain to?

I didn't think to study any lymph nodes other than the key ones for cancer (like Virchow's) till this question popped up. Any thoughts? 🙂 Thanks.
 
Is it popliteal?

I think there's a table in FA that lists the proximal draining lymph nodes..
 
Oh, just found it! Sorry, didn't notice this table before. It is popliteal 🙂

Table on page 222 of FA 2012.
