ing curved, so as to leave the plane occupied by the section. The 

 trabeculae are not partitions, like the interlobular pulmonary 

 septa or the prolongations from the capsule of Glisson in the liver; 

 they are not unlike rods or posts, making a framework and no 

 producing alveoli. Find one divided transversely.)

in the cortex, and the cord-like masses of it in the medulla. (They 

 are recognized as granular areas between the trabeculaa.) 



4. The lymph-paths. (These can be appreciated by remem- 

 bering that the follicles and cords do not entirely fill the spaces 

 between the trabeculae, and that the area between the two i.e., 

 outside the cords is the more open in texture, and contains the 

 filtering lymph. They are more distinct in the cortex.)
