Lymph Node - Low Power

In the region of the lymph node hilus, there are numerous vessels. There are medium
(mv) and small veins lying near muscular arteries (ma), arterioles, and lymphatic
vessels (l). Notice that in the loose irregular connective tissue between the arteries,
veins, and lymphatics there are also nerves (n) and capillaries.l
