    Study Notes

    Lymphatic Tissues

    • Esophagus and Trachea have loose lymphatic tissue.
    • Ileum and Appendix have dense and nodular lymphatic tissues.
    • Lymphoid Nodules/ Lymphoid Follicles are compact, circumscribed aggregates of B cells
      • Primary lymphoid nodule: aggregates of uniform cell density and staining
      • Secondary lymphoid nodule: aggregates with larger, more euchromatic cells centrally, containing a germinal center (a central, pale staining portion) and a mantle (a dark staining portion)

    Lymphatic Organs

    • Thymus is divided into a cortex and medulla
      • The cortex is darkly basophilic and contains extensive lymphoblasts, also called thymocytes
      • The medulla is lightly stained and contains structures called Hassall's corpuscles or thymic corpuscles, which are characteristic features of the thymus.
    • The mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) is a type of lymphatic tissue found in the mucous membranes of the body
    • Lymph Nodes have a capsule and a trabeculae composed of dense irregular CT
      • Subcapsular sinuses lie underneath the capsule and drain lymph to the marginal sinuses.
      • The lymph node has a cortex, paracortex and medulla
        • The cortex contains lymphatic nodules (primary and secondary nodules/follicles)
        • The paracortex lacks lymphatic nodules and is rich in T cells
        • The medulla has medullary cords and medullary sinuses
    • Tonsils:
      • Partially encapsulated.
      • Lined by stratified squamous epithelium (SSE)
      • Contain numerous lymphatic nodules and spaces called tonsillar crypts.
    • Spleen:
      • Has a capsule made of fibroelastic dense irregular connective tissue and smooth muscle.
      • The capsule sends out trabeculae that penetrate the pulp and carry blood vessels.
      • Two regions: red pulp and white pulp
        • Red pulp
          • Contains splenic cords/Billroth cords made up of macrophages and blood cells of all kinds.
          • Also contains splenic sinusoids, which are lined by elongated cells called Stave cells.
        • White pulp
          • Contains lymphatic nodules (primary and secondary nodules/follicles) and a central arteriole surrounded by periarteriolar lymphatic sheath (PALS), which is made up of T lymphocytes.

    Esophagus

    • The esophagus consists of four layers: mucosa, submucosa, tunica muscularis, and tunica adventitia.
      • The mucosa is made up of: a lining epithelium (stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium), a lamina propria (loose connective tissue with scattered lymphocytes), and a muscularis mucosa (smooth muscle).
      • The submucosa contains deep esophageal glands.

    Trachea

    • The trachea lining epithelium is pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium with goblet cells (PCCE with GC).
    • The trachea contains tracheal glands (tubuloalveolar mixed glands) located in the submucosa and trachealis muscle (smooth muscle) between the free ends of C-shaped cartilages.
    • The trachea is made of hyaline cartilage.

    Ileum

    • The ileum has villi and Peyer's Patches which are most numerous in the distal portion.
    • The ileum has a mucosa, submucosa, tunica muscularis, and tunica adventitia.
      • Mucosa: consists of a simple columnar epithelium, a lamina propria with dense and nodular lymphatic tissue (Peyer's patches), and a muscularis mucosa.

    Appendix

    • Appendix is a segment of the large intestines (colon) that has the most numerous aggregates of lymphatic nodules.
    • The appendix has a mucosa, submucosa, tunica muscularis, and tunica adventitia.
      • Mucosa: consists of simple columnar epithelium with goblet cells, a lamina propria with dense and nodular lymphatic tissue, intestinal glands and appendiceal crypts.
