title: [Sex-specific features of the construction and cellular composition of the superior tracheo-bronchial lymph nodes in adults].
abstract: Specific features of the internal structure and the cellular composition of the superior tracheobronchial regional lymphatic nodes in man under normal conditions with reference to sex were studied in 18 corpses of men and 14 corpses of women from 21 to 60 years of age. Conventional histological methods were used. The superior tracheobronchial lymphatic nodes in men and women were found to be arranged according to a common plan, but to differ in a number of signs. In humans of either sex the cortical plateau prevailed over the medullary substance in the section made though the hilus of the node, but the ratio of the cortical and medullary substances is different in men and women. In men there are less follicles both containing and not containing the light centers than in women. The cellular composition of the superior tracheobronchial lymphatic nodes is extremely polymorphic but is more or less constant in each structural component in men and women.
