2.3 POJA-L1024-1043. Afferent lymph vessel in lymph node (human)
2.3 POJA-L1024-1043
Title: Afferent lymph vessel in lymph node (human)
Description: Stain: Azan.
Left (A) and right (B): part of the cortex of a lymph node with the capsule (1) and subcapsular (or marginal) sinus (2) filled with lymphocytes.
Left (A): (3): Shows perpendicularly localized reticular cells and fibres (blue) in the sinus. (4): Iindicate afferent lymph vessel with valves (→). Below the subcapsular sinus the crescent (5) of a secondary follicle with a germinal centre (6) flanked by intermediate sinuses (or paratrabecular sinuses) filled with many lymphocytes and other cells.
Right (B): the entrance of a lymph vessel (4) directly into the subcapsular sinus (2) is marked by the presence of two slender valves with the endothelial lining (→). Note that reticular fibers are deep-blue stained.
Keywords/Mesh: lymphatic tissue, lymph node, lymph vessel, subcapsular sinus, reticular cell, lymphatic follicle, reticular tissue, histology, POJA collection.
