Lymph node: hilum
The hilum is the indented portion of a lymph node where the efferent lymphatics and venules exit and where arterioles enter. The hilum contains a network of anastomosing efferent vessels that receive the lymph passing through the medullary sinuses. Filling the hilum is supporting connective tissue and adipose tissue. 100x
