Scheme of blood circulation in the red pulp in the spleen | A. closed circulation B. open circulation A.

Scheme of the medullar changes in lymph node after antigen stimulation | Upon antigenic stimulation the reticular cells that line the medullar sinusoids start to phagocytise the antigens (i.e. infective agents) and change from small tiny stellate cells into swollen large cells due to phagocytosis. They detach from the medullar sinus wall. After ten days the situation has... | follicle; antigen stimulation; scheme; germinal center | Poja Histology Collection - Lymphatic Tissues and Organs Subset |
