FIGURE 11.12 | Cortex and Medulla of Thymus
Gland
A low-magnification photomicrograph shows a portion of the lobule of the
thymus gland. A connective tissue trabecula (1) subdivides the gland into
incomplete lobules. Each lobule consists of the darker-staining cortex (2) and
the lighter-staining medulla (3). A characteristic thymic (Hassall) corpuscle (4)
is present in the center of the medulla in one of the lobules.
