A
  • Crypts!!
  • NO villi
  • Still has simple columnar epithelium with goblet cells
22
Q

What are the two types of capsulated lymphoid tissues?

A

Lobules (thymus) and No Lobules (spleen, LN)

23
Q

The _____ produces only T-lymphocytes, decreases in size with age, replaced by fat and connective tissue, and continues to produce T-lymphocytes in adults

A

thymus

T and T

24
Q

Why is the thymus considered a capsulated, lobular tissue?

A
  • 2 lobes with a connective tissue capsule!
  • Septa (connective tissue) penetrate to the medulla
  • Septa divide thymus into incomplete lobules
25
Q

The thymus is arranged into a dark outer cortex and light inner ________. Has NO nodules or germinal centers

A

medulla

26
Q

Where do T-lymphocytes in the thymus mature?

A

Cortex

27
Q

What are the 3 cells in the cortex of the thymus?

A
  • Subcapsular thymic epithelial cells
  • Thymic cortical epithelial cells
  • Maturing T-cells
28
Q

The medulla of the thymus is lighter and the site of mature lymphocytes. What else is contained in the medulla? (3)

A
  • Hassal’s corpuscles
  • Thymic medullary epithelial cells
  • Dendritic cells
29
Q

TQ: What are contained in both the cortex and medulla of the thymus? (1)

A

Macrophages

30
Q

What are hassal’s corpuscles of the thymus and what are their function?

A
  • Only present in medulla
  • Closely packed epithelial cells
  • Stimulates thymic dendritic cells to complete maturation of T-cells
31
Q

What is the function of the thymus-blood barrier in the cortex?

A

-prevent most antigens from reaching developing T-cells

32
Q

What is being described?

  • Capsulated with no lobules
  • Located in left superior quadrant
  • Macrophages destroy old RBC
  • Traps antigens
  • Reservoir for 1/3 of platelets
  • Hematopoiesis location
A

Spleen!

33
Q

What divides the spleen into incomplete compartments?

A

Trabeculae

34
Q

What is the difference between red and white pulp of the spleen?

A

White pulp: rich in lymphoid tissue (clusters)

Red pulp: rich in RBC (b/t white pulp)

(DONT STAIN RED AND WHITE)

35
Q

____ pulp contains:

  • germinal center
  • corona
  • marginal zone (b/t red and white pulp)
  • periarteriolar lymphoid sheath
  • central artery
A

White

36
Q

___ pulp contains:

  • Splenic cord formed by reticular cells
  • Splenic sinusoid b/t cords
  • Penicillar aa.
  • Macrophage sheathed capillaries
  • Circulating RBC
A

Red

37
Q 
Splenic a.-->
Trabecular aa.-->
Central aa. (surrounded by PALS)-->
Radial aa.-->
Central aa. leave white pulp-->
Penicillar aa. (sheathed by Macrophages)-->
Splenic sinusoids (closed)
OR 
Red pulp

What do radial aa. supply?

A

White pulp marginal zone sinuses

38
Q

What is being described?

  • Smallest, most numerous encapsulated lymphoid organs
  • In line filters of lymph
  • Removes antigens and cellular debris
  • Produces lymphocytes
  • Add antibodies
A

Lymph nodes

39
Q

What kind of organization do LN have?

A
  • capsule
  • Trabeculae
  • Outer cortex
  • Inner medulla
  • Hilum
40
Q

The outer cortex of the LN has more _-cells and the inner cortex has more _-cells

A

Outer cortex=B cells

Inner cortex=T cells

41
Q

What is the medulla arranged into?

A

cords and sinuses

42
Q

What are we doing in the sinuses of the LN?

A

clearing antigens and cellular debris
