Overview: Stroma

The stroma for lymphoid nodules, lymph nodes, spleen and bone marrow is reticular connective tissue. This connective tissue is composed of a meshwork of reticular fibers (type III collagen) and the reticular cells that produce them. Macrophages and lymphoid cells positioned along the fibers react to any antigens carried in the fluid percolating through the meshwork. 400x, 40x, 40x, 1000x
