cortex of lymph node

Peripheral portion of the lymph node, underneath the capsule[WP]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the cortex of lymph node is

Peripheral portion of the lymph node, underneath the capsule[WP]. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the cortex of lymph node is

It sits within the lymphatic & immune system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the cortex of lymph node connects to

The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of lymph node.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the cortex of lymph node. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as lymph node cortex and cortex nodi lymphoidei. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the cortex of lymph node?

It sits within the lymphatic & immune system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the cortex of lymph node connect to?

Part of: lymph node.

Is the cortex of lymph node the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
