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.
The red pulp of the spleen is composed of connective tissue known also as the cords of Billroth and many splenic sinusoids that are engorged with blood, giving it a red color. [1] [2] Its primary function is to filter the blood of antigens, microorganisms, and defective or worn-out red blood cells. [3]
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).
The mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), also called mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue, is a diffuse system of small concentrations of lymphoid tissue found in various submucosal membrane sites of the body, such as the gastrointestinal tract, nasopharynx, thyroid, breast, lung, salivary glands, eye, and skin.
The fibroelastic coat of the spleen invests the organ, and at the hilum is reflected inward upon the vessels in the form of sheaths. From these sheaths, as well as from the inner surface of the fibroelastic coat, numerous small fibrous bands, the trabeculae of the spleen (or splenic trabeculae), emerge from all directions; these uniting, constitute the frame-work of the spleen.
The latest issue of Hello! magazine describes Melania Trump as someone who has "grown in confidence" and now has "newfound authority" during her second stint in the White House as first lady.
DJ Unk, the Atlanta MC known for his early 2000s hits including “Walk It Out” and “2 Step," died after suffering a cardiac arrest this week, according to his wife.
In humans, the spleen receives blood from the splenic artery, which branches into central and penicillar arterioles. [5] Owing to the absence of a histologically defined marginal sinus, the blood flowing in penicillar arterioles directly drains into capillaries of the red pulp and perifollicular zone. The perifollicular zone is a well-defined ...
