Title: Macrophage-sheathed capillaries in spleen (human)
Description: Azan.
The branching of each penicillar arteriole gives rise to capillaries and a slow-down of the blood stream. In certain regions monocyte-derived macrophages leave the capillary and enter its wall where they develop into macrophages. Together with the present reticular cells these cell accumulations form a sheath locally around the capillary (1). One of the major functions of this sheath is to get rid of ageing cells and debris from the blood.
(2): Are open venous sinuses.
Keywords/Mesh: lymphatic tissue, spleen, macrophage-sheathed capillaries, histology, POJA collection
