    This document summarizes key parts of the immune system and lymphoid organs. It describes the structure of lymph nodes, including the medulla which contains medullary sinuses separated by medullary cords. The medulla has high numbers of lymphocytes and plasma cells. It also contains blood vessels. The document then describes the structure of the spleen, which has a capsule connecting to trabeculae that extend into the pulp. The spleen contains red pulp, which occupies most of the organ and contains blood cells, and white pulp, which is restricted to smaller lymphoid tissue areas around arterioles.

    (a) The medulla of a lymph node consists mainly of the medullary cytoplasm than lymphocytes. Efferent lymph is rich in newly syn-
    sinuses (MS) separated by intervening medullary cords (MC). Lym- thesized antibodies. A medullary sinus (MS) with a meshwork of
    phocytes and plasma are abundant and predominate in number eosinophilic processes from surrounding reticular cells is also seen.
    over other cell types. A blood vessel within a medullary cord is also (X400; H&E)
    seen. (X200; H&E) (Used with permission from Dr Paulo A. Abrahamsohn, Institute of Bio-

    The capsule (C) of the spleen connects to trabeculae (T) extending
    into the pulp-like interior of the organ. The red pulp (R) occupies
    most of the parenchyma, with white pulp (W) restricted to smaller
    T areas, mainly around the central arterioles. Names of these splenic
    W areas refer to their color in the fresh state: red pulp is filled with
    blood cells of all types, located both in cords and sinuses; white pulp
    is lymphoid tissue. Large blood vessels and lymphatics enter and
    leave the spleen at a hilum. (X20; Picro-Sirius-hematoxylin)
