“…The medullary region, in turn, contains macrophages, B lymphocytes entangled in lymphatic vessels, blood vessels, and diffuse lymphoid tissue (ROMANO et al, 2002;JUNQUEIRA;CARNEIRO, 2008). Silva et al (2014) described the morphology and location of lymph nodes of seven Odontocetes species: Sotalia guianensis, S. fluviatilis, Stenella clymene, S. longirostris, Inia geoffrensis, Peponocephala electra, and Globicephala macrorhynchus, from the North and Northeast regions of Brazil. The following lymph node types were found according to their location in the organism: parotid, mandibular, hyoid, cervical (superficial and deep), periscapular, mediastinal, hilar respiratory, pulmonary, diaphragmatic, gastric, mesenteric, mesocolic/colic, hilar hepatic, pancreatic, hilar renal, pelvic, and genital (male and female).…”
