noduri

Noduri is the Romanian term for nodes and is used across multiple disciplines to denote points of connection or functional units within systems. The precise meaning depends on context, but in general a node is a discrete element that participates in a larger network or structure.

In mathematics and computer science, a node (nod) is a basic unit in a graph or network. Nodes represent entities and are connected by edges. Their properties include degree (the number of incident edges), adjacency, and position within a path or cycle. Graph-theoretic models use nodes and edges to study relationships, flows, and structures such as social networks, transportation grids, and communication systems. In computer networks, a node can be a device or endpoint that can send, receive, or route information, such as computers, routers, or servers.

In biology and medicine, noduri limfatici, or lymph nodes, are small, bean-shaped organs of the immune system. They filter lymph, trap pathogens, and host immune cells that respond to infections. Lymph nodes commonly swell in infections and may become enlarged in diseases such as lymphoma.

In botany, noduri refer to the nodes on a plant stem, points where leaves or buds attach. Internodes lie between nodes. Nodes are important for growth, propagation, and the arrangement of leaves and shoots.
