A

Outer Cortex

28
Q

This structure of lymph node contains T cells and High Endothelial Venules

A

Paracortex

29
Q

This structure of lymph node is composed of cords and sinuses

A

Medulla

30
Q

Lymph Node follicles made up of small, dark, and mature Lymphocytes

A

Primary Unstimulated Follicles

31
Q

Lymph Node Follicle made up of Germinal Center and Mantle Zone

A

Secondary Stimulated Follicles

32
Q

The lymph node capsule and trabeculae consists of what tissue

A

Dense Irregular Connective Tissue

33
Q

This lymphatic vessel penetrates the capsule of lymph node on convex sides and carry lymph from site of infection back to the lymph nodes

A

Afferent Lymphatic Vessels

33
Q

This Lymphatic Vessel leaves through the hilum carry lymph from lymph node and returns it to the blood

A

Efferent Lymphatic Vessels

34
Q

Is the depression in the concave surface of a lymph node

A

Hilum/Hilus

35
Q

How does Lymph flow through the node

A

Afferent Lymphatic > Subscapular Sinus > Intermediate Sinus > Medullary Sinus > Efferent Lymphatics > Larger Lymphatics > Blood

36
Q

Located in Paracortex that allows lymphocytes in blood vessels to adhere to endothelial cells and migrate across vessel wall to the lymphoid tissue

A

High Endothelial Venules

37
Q

Lymphocytes move from blood circulation to lymphatic circulation via ________________

A

High Endothelial Venules

38
Q

How do lymphocytes get from blood to lymph

A

Hilar Arterioles > Arterioles > Capillaries > High-endothelial venules > Lymphocyte enter lymphatic circulation > Efferent Lymph Vessels

39
Q

Functions of Spleen

White Pulp of Spleen consists of ____________ and ______________

A

Splenic Follicles and Periateriolar Lymphatic Sheaths

44
Q

These are circular collections of T cells around arterioles in the White Pulp

A

Periarteriolar Lymphatic Sheaths (PALS)

45
Q

These are similar to secondary follicles in lymph nodes but with one more layer (Marginal Zone)

Splenic Follicles

46
Q

This red pulp of the spleen is lined with specialized endothelial cells (Stave Cells) surrounded by rings of reticular fibers in which healthy red cells can easily pass through

A

Splenic Sinuses (Sinusoids)

47
Q

This red pulp of the spleen is located between the sinuses containing red cells, granulocytes, lymphocytes, macrophages, platelets, and plasma cells
