Periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths (or periarterial lymphatic sheaths, or PALS) are a portion of the white pulp of the spleen.They are populated largely by T cells and surround central arteries within the spleen; the PALS T-cells are presented with blood borne antigens via myeloid dendritic cells.
The cords of Billroth (also known as splenic cords or red pulp cords) are found in the red pulp of the spleen between the sinusoids, consisting of fibrils and connective tissue cells with a large population of monocytes and macrophages.
White pulp is a histological designation for regions of the spleen (named because it appears whiter than the surrounding red pulp on cross section), that encompasses approximately 25% of splenic tissue. White pulp consists entirely of lymphoid tissue.
Histology of a normal lymphoid follicle, with marginal zone annotated at bottom.. Marginal-zone B cells (MZ B cells) are noncirculating mature B cells that in humans segregate anatomically into the marginal zone (MZ) of the spleen [1] and certain other types of lymphoid tissue. [2]
Category: Histopathology of chronic venous congestion of liver Chronic venous congestion of spleen: Micrograph showing chronic venous congestion of spleen. Sinusoids are dialated. Organized foci of old hemorrhage seen as areas of fibrosis containing brown pigment (hemosiderin). Category: Histopathology of chronic venous congestion of spleen
At left is a micrograph of spleen with hyaline deposition (pink material at top of image) in association with inflammation (hyaloserositis), using H&E stain. At right is a micrograph of a kidney with arterial hyaline (hyaline arteriolosclerosis), using PAS stain.
The trabecular arteries are the name of the branches of the splenic artery after it passes into the trabeculae of the spleen, where it branches.When these arteries then reach the white pulp, and become covered with periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths, the name changes again to central arteries (or central arterioles).
Micrograph of the spleen showing darkly stained, spheroid Gamna-Gandy bodies (arrows) outside the vessel wall at the center. Also shown is diffusely scattered, brown, granular hemosiderin pigment (arrowheads), indicating previous hemorrhage (hematoxylin & eosin staining, 40x magnification).
