Lymph Node

This is a low power view of a lymph node, which is encased by a capsule. The lymph enters the node via afferent lymphatic vessels, which are located within the capsule. The capsule and trabeculae, which extend into the node from the capsule, provide the main structural support. Note the B-cell containing lymphoid follicles located in the cortex. The medulla contains medullary cords (aggregates of lymphoid tissue) and medullary sinuses (lymphatic channels). Between the cortex and medulla lies an ill-defined region called the paracortex. The hilum of the lymph node is the location where blood vessels enter and exit the node. It is also where the medullary sinuses merge into efferent lymphatic vessels, which carry the lymph away from the node. What type of cells would you expect to find in the paracortex?
