Schematic representation of a lymph node internal architecture
- T cell area - the paracortex
- B cell area the node cortex
A number of follicles are located in the node cortex, whereas the T cell area occupies the inner part.
The medulla consists of a part of the T-area that allows cells to exit by the efferent vessel. T and B cells enter the lymph node mainly from the blood, through HEV located inside the paracortex.
