Fig.6 Photomicrograph of a lymphatic nodule. The capsule
is composed of dense connective tissue from which
trabeculae (T) penetrate into the organ. Immediately below the
capsule is the subcapsular sinus (SS), which receives lymph
from the afferent lymphatic vessels after they penetrate the
capsule. The subcapsular sinus is continuous with the
trabecular sinuses (TS) that course along the trabeculae (T).
