lymph node medulla

his detailed anatomical illustration depicts both the distribution of major lymphatic structures throughout the female body (left) and a cross-sectional view of lymph node architecture (right). Understanding the lymphatic system is essential for medical professionals across various specialties, from immunologists and oncologists to surgeons and radiologists. This dual representation provides valuable insights into how the macroscopic organization of lymphatic vessels and organs relates to the microscopic structure of individual lymph nodes.

The anatomical structure of lymph nodes is precisely organized to optimize antigen capture, lymphocyte activation, and immune cell interactions. This detailed diagram illustrates the complete pathway of lymph flow through a lymph node, from the afferent lymphatic vessels to the efferent lymphatic vessel, highlighting the compartmentalized structure that facilitates these specialized immune functions.
