[Age and features of the construction and cellular composition of superior tracheobronchial lymph nodes in adult humans]. 1979

S S Dmitrieva

Age peculiarities in composition of the upper tracheobronchial lymph nodes have been studied in 60 corpses at the age of 16-70 years. Cause of death has not been connected with diseases of blood, lymphatic system or thoracic origins. Routine histological and morphometric methods have been applied. Certain age-dependent rearrangement in the connective tissue stroma, trabecular vegetations and differences in correlations of structural components have been noted. A rather essential volumetric increase of the medullary substance takes place at the level of hilus of the lymph node. Cellular composition of the lymph nodes is greatly polymorphous but is more or less constant for each age group. The number of macrophages containing carbon pigment is increasing with age.
