Lymphoid Images Flashcards
(35 cards)
Identify

Lymph node
- Capsule: dense irregular connective tissue
- Cortex: sinuses and lymphatic nodules
- Medulla: dense lymphoid tissue and sinuses

Identify

- Capsule: dense irregular CT
- Subcapsular sinus: loose lymphoid tissue, has a few reticular cells and many lymphocytes within
- Cortex (just beneath capsule, consists of sinuses and lymphatic nodules)

Identify

Lymph Node
- Afferent lymphatic vessel (within capsule)
- Valve (control the flow of lymph through the node)
- Capsule
- Subcapsular sinus

Identify

Lymph node
- Cortical lymphatic nodules
- Subcapsular sinus
- Capsule
- Cortical lymphatic nodules
- Germinal center
- Cortex

Idenitfy

Lymph Node: high power of secondary lymphatic nodule
Germinal Center
Mantle: concentrically arranged small lymphocytes, surrounds germinal center

Identify

Dlt: dense lymphoid tissue (surrounds sinus)
Ms: medullary sinus (loose lymphoid tissue)
Reticular cells and lymphocytes within sinus

Identify

Lymph node
Efferent lymphatics: notice valves in most of these vessels

Identify

Lymph node
Post capillary venules with tall endothelium

Identify

Lymph node
Capsule
Subcapsular sinus
Cortex

Identify

Fx of HEV: cell adhesion molecules, play a role in lymphocyte recirculation

Identify

Perfused spleen
Capsule
Red pulp
White pulp
Trabeculum (contains a blood vessel)

Identify

Perfused spleen
White pulp
Red pulp contains (s) splenic sinuses and (c) splenic cords (between sinuses)

Identify
Perfused spleen
Red pulp (surrounds white pulp)
Lymphatic nodule
Germinal center
PALS (periarterial lymphatic sheath): have central arteries within, populated by T lymphocytes, irregulr shaped portion of white pulp
PALS + Nodules = white pulp

Identify

Perfused spleen
White pulp surrounded by red pulp
Central arteries within white pulp

Identify

Fetal thymus
Cortex and medulla of each lobule

Identify

Thymic lobule

Identify

Fetal thymus
Hassall’s corpuscle

Identify

Fetal thymus
Hassall’s corpuscles (one has been keratinized)

Identify

Adult thymus
Cortical areas (c)
Medullary areas (m)
2 Hassall’s corpuscles that have calcified
Surrounded by connective tissue

Identify

Tonsil (palatine - don’t need to know)
Dlt: dense lymphoid tissue - what tonsils are composed of
ln: lymphatic nodules - lie beneath epithelium
e: stratfied squamous epithelium
c: crypts - penetrate into the tonsil

Identify

Tonsil
Crypt (epithelial invagination)
Lymphatic nodules with germinal centers

Identify
(Optional)
Unperfused spleen
Red pulp with sinuses in the subcapsular region
Capsule around outside

Identify
(Optional)

Unperfused spleen
White pulp surrounded by red pulp (congested with blood)
White pulp - lymphatic nodule with germinal center, also in the form of PALS

Identify
(Optional)

Spleen
Capsule on left
Sinuses within red pulp “stained” with hemolyzed blood (arrows)
2 areas of white pulp
