Description |
The connective tissue capsule of the thymus sends septa into the organ, dividing it into lobules. Each lobule is further divided into cortex and medulla. Cortex stains darkly because it contains numerous lymphocytes embedded in a meshwork of epithelial reticular cells. The Hassal's corpuscle in the medulla is characteristic of the thymus.
