Lymph node

STRUCTURE & FUNCTION

Understand what you see.

Filters lymph and supports adaptive immune-cell interactions.

Zoom into the original labels. Practise pointing out each structure, then explain it aloud. Diagrams are teaching references; specimen appearance and slide staining vary.

01 / IDENTIFICATION

How to recognise it.

  1. Capsule surrounds nodal tissue
  2. Cortex contains follicles
  3. Medulla contains cords and sinuses
02 / KEY STRUCTURES

Point them out.

Tap a number to open its reference, zoom in and locate the structure. Numbers stay the same across views. This key follows landmarks visible in the reference images.

Additional relations, attachments or microscopic details to revise alongside this plate. These are separate from its numbered image landmarks.

  • Paracortex
  • Medullary sinuses
03 / VIVA PRACTICE

Think first. Then reveal.

Say your answer aloud before opening the suggested response.

01How do you identify lymph node?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

Capsule surrounds nodal tissue. Cortex contains follicles. Medulla contains cords and sinuses.

02Where are T cells predominantly located?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

Paracortex, while B-cell follicles predominate in cortex.

03How does a node differ from spleen?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

Node filters lymph and has cortex/medulla; spleen filters blood and has white/red pulp rather than a comparable cortex/medulla.

04Which structures should you point out on this reference?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

Cortical follicles; Paracortex; Medullary sinuses. Filters lymph and supports adaptive immune-cell interactions.
