APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The nodes are covered by a capsule of dense connective tissue, and have capsular extensions, of connective tissue, called the trabeculae, which provide support for blood vessels entering into the nodes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Outer dense fibrous connective tissue capsule fibers form strands that divide the node into compartments. Internal reticular fibers form a framework (stroma) to support the cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -This system includes the bone marrow, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and lymphatic vessels (a network of thin tubes that carry lymph and white blood cells). Lymphatic vessels branch, like blood vessels, into all the tissues of the body. Also called lymph system.
