Lymph Node Histology - High Endothelial Venules

(Stain - Haematoxylin Eosin)


High Endothelial Venules (HEV) specialized postcapillary venules.

"High" from the thickness (low cuboidal) of the endothelial cells.

Endothelial cells are typically a squamous epithelium.

Vascular site for lymphocyte entry and exit from secondary lymphoid organs.
