Location of hematopoesis fetal to adult
Yolk sac
Liver/Spleen
Bone Marrow
Red Marrow
- location of hematopoiesis
- filled w/ stromal cells, HSC, fibroblasts
- Site of B, NK maturation
- Site of T cell formation
Thymus Stromal Cells

Dendritic Cells (Conventional)
Thymic Epi Cells
Thymus is site of?
T cell maturation/differentiation
B Cell Location in Lymph Node
T Cell Location in Lymph Node
Follicle (b cell)
Paracortex (t cell)
Thymus gross structure?
Cortex & Medulla
Lymphocyte entrance into lymph node?
- Via HEV (if from blood)
- Afferent vessel (if bound antigen in tissue)
Lymphocyte exit from lymph node?
Efferent vessel
Swollen lymph nodes due to?
Bacterial or viral infection (normally)
Allergic reaction, arthritis, cancer (possible causes)
Lymph flows from thoracic duct into?

Spleen (red vs. white pulp)
Red - phagocytosis RBC, antigens, microbes
White - lymph tissue
