What would happen in the human body if there were no lymphatic system?
It sometimes is difficult to distinguish the different lymphoid organs from one another in histological sections. How would you tell the thymus from a lymph node? (a) Only the thymus has a cortex and medulla; (b) lymphocytes are far less densely packed in the thymus than in the lymph node; (c) the thymus contains no blood vessels; (d) only the thymus has distinct lobules and thymic corpuscles.
Although you might consider this image to be a histology image of a tonsil, you would not identify it as such due to the inability to visualize which of the following?
Choose from the following:
(A) epithelium
(B) smooth muscle
(C) crypts
(D) lymphatic follicles
