[Structure of the arterial bed in human lymph nodes].
Blood vessels, that bring blood to various areas of the human superficial inguinal lymph nodes are predominantly arterioles and precapillaries. They are often arranged radially from the hilus to the capsule and from the capsule towards the portal thickening. The arteries and arterioles of the portal and capsular trabeculae reach the paracortical zone, occupying an intermediate position between the medullary cords and the cortex of the lymph node. The arterioles of the paracortical zone, passing between the cortex and the medullary cords, acquire an arcuate appearance. In both directions from them (into central and peripheral areas of the node) precapillaries branch off at a right angle. The cortex is supplied with blood by the arteriolar branches of the paracortical zone and the capsule of the node. The cortical precapillaries branch into capillaries either within the lymphoid nodules, or along their periphery. In the medullary cords those arterioles branch, that get from the portal thickening, portal trabeculae and paracortical zone.
