Bone Marrow and Thymus Flashcards

A = adipose
M = megakaryocyte ( produces platelets)
Ey = erythrocytes
E = developing eosinophils
BN = developing neutrophils

Blue Arrow = Capsule
Yellow Arrows = Trabeculae
Yello/Green Outline = Lobules
Also Identify the T Lymphocytes

Black Arrow = Epithelial Reticular Cells
Yellow Outline = Hassall’s Corpuscles
Identify the Black Arrows

Hassall’s Corpuscles
Keratinization
Corpuscles undergo keratinization to have less cellularity









Diffuse Lymphoid Tissue

Primary Nodule (Aka Follicule)

Peyers Patches (Large Nodules)

Top Right = Tonsillar Crypts
Bottom Right = Lymphatic Nodules
Both Left Boxes = Lumen of the Oral Cavity

Black Arrows = Non-Keratinized Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Yellow Arrows = Tonsilar Crypts
Green Arrows = Septa

Yellow Arrows = Tonsilar Crypt
Green Arrows = Septa

Rare Primary Nodules (Unstimulated Lymphocytes)
(Everything else is a secondary nodule =Stimulated Lymphocytes which are darker because they are
closer together)
Identify the black outline, the yellow outline, and the paler central region.

Black Outline = Secondary Nodule
Yellow Outline = Corona
Pale Region = Germinal Center

Larger Cells (Black arrow) that are dividing are
called “Blast forms”

Red Outline = Blast Forms
Blue Outline = Macrophages

Blue Outline = Mitotic Figures

Red Arrows = Macrophages
Black Arrows = Blast forms of Lymphocytes

Black Arrows = Macrophages


Pharyngeal tonsils
Same as palatine tonsil, except covered with stratified squamous epithelium and pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with goblet cells








The outlined region is more concentrated in B or T cells?


Identify the space indicated by the X
