The former region is the cortex, the latter the medulla of the gland.

The fibrous capsule, the septa and trabeculse are the carriers of the vascular trunks ; the trabeculag consist of fibrous connective tissue and of a certain Fig. 60.—From a Vertical Section through a Lymphatic Gland, the Lymphatics of which had been injected. c, The outer capsule, with Ijmpliatic vessels in section: a, the cortical hnnph i„] I'', cortical lymph slnuse..; h, the raeduilary: injected lymph sinuses between the masses of adenoid tissue.
