Salivary and Lymphatic (complete) Flashcards

1
Q

What are the steps in development of lymph nodes

A
  1. Lymphatic Endothelial Cells (LECs) leave the blood vessels
  2. LECs aggregate with mesenchyme to form lymph sacs
  3. More aggregation leads to lymph nodules
  4. nodules become surrounded by sinuses
  5. Lymphatic cells migrate from the mesenchyme, thymus, and marrow. to fill in the sinuses with T and B cells
  6. a capsule surrounds the node and trabeculae helps fortify it
