What are the strands that extend inward from the capsule of a lymph node and subdivide it into several compartments called nodules?
The strands that extend inward from the capsule of a lymph node and subdivide it into several compartments are called trabeculae. These trabeculae are composed of connective tissue and help support the structure of the lymph node while also providing a framework for the arrangement of lymphatic tissue within. They play a crucial role in organizing the lymph node's architecture, facilitating the movement of lymph fluid, and housing immune cells.
What does lymph node sinus histiocytosis mean?
Lymph nodes are small glands that function to filter the lymph (excess plasma that circulates around tissues in capillary beds); they are often the first place where infections and metastatic cancers are found. The sinuses of a lymph node are small open pockets between the lymphocytes where fluid can accumulate. Histiocytosis is an abnormal accumulation of histiocytes (also called macrophages). Therefore, lymph node sinus histiocytosis is an abnormal accumulation of macrophages within the open spaces of a lymph node.
