6
Some B cells become _____ and leave for ______

surrounds lymph node
capsule
where lymph first enters the node

paracortex
beneath the cortex and paracortex
medulla
lymphocytes enter the node via ____ or _____
arteriole
incoming lymph
____ in blood vessels are columnar and offer more room for passage of cells

no _____ lymphatics bringing lymph to spleen; ____ live in the marginal sinuses
affarent
resident dendritic cells
______ lymphatic vessel drain into the intestinal lymph trunks, which then enter cistern chuli of lymph trunks
efferent
blood entering the spleen is diverted to _______, which is loaded with MACROPHAGES, blood must filter back to ______
marginal sinuses
splenic vein
