HUMAN SUPRARENAL BODY

SAME SECTION AS FIG. 135, MORE HIGHLY MAGNIFIED. ZONA FASCICU- 

 LATA (X 400). 



A. Blood-capillaries, arising from the arteries seen in the proceeding illustration, and 

 ramifying in the connective tissue framework. 



B. Compartments lobules formed by delicate connective tissue prolongations from the 

 fibrous capsule. 



C. Lobular parenchyma. These large, somewhat rounded cells are generally mononucleated, 

 contain fat-globules, and are frequently pigmented. 



(H.) Fig. 136. 



1. The capillary plexus, forming ovate or elongated meshes. 



2. The compressed globular cells of the parenchyma. (Note 

 that the cells are small in the small compartments, as though 

 crowded. This is due, in a measure, to the contraction of the 

 tissue from the rapid hardening. 



3. The minute fat-globules in the parenchyma. 



4. Yellow pigment- granules in the cells, especially of the 

 medulla.
