Block2/Fig.11 93W4126 Thymus, H&E.

block3_22.jpg - Fig.11 93W4126 Thymus, H&E. Examination of the thymus atlow magnification reveals the lobules separated by adiposetissue (Ad). In the older thymus, much adipose tissue ispresent between the lobules. Each lobule is composed of adark-staining basophilic cortex (C) and a lighter-stainingmedulla (M). The cortex contains numerous densely packedlymphocytes, whereas the medulla contains fewerlymphocytes and is consequently less densely. The lobulesare not completely separate units; rather, they areinterconnected.
