(yellow asterik)
(green asterik)

(yellow) paracortex (deep cortex)
(green) cortex (outer cortex)
(both are in lymph nodes)
this area

hilus (lymph node)
(blue arrows)
(red arrows)

(blue) afferent lymphatic duct
(red) efferent lymphatic duct
(both of lymph node)
these areas

medulla (lymph node)

subcapsular sinus (lymph node)
(where the blue cords are pointing)
(where they are)

medullary cords
medullary sinuses
both in lymph node

(what is unique)

pig lymph node
cortex
medulla
cortex and medulla are flipped
(blue arrows)

capsule (spleen)

purple arrows

trabeculae (spleen)

(red arrows)
(green capsule)

red pulp
white pulp (nodules)
both of spleen


trabecular artery (of spleen)


artery of white pulp

how do these compare in size

artery of red pulp (pulp arterioles)
smaller than artery of white pulp

(blue arrows)
