Given the following image, what separates the lymph nodes into compartments?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: The image is a detailed diagram of a lymph node showing its internal structure:
• A points to afferent lymphatic vessels (bringing lymph in).
• B points to the capsule (outer covering).
• C points to the trabeculae (also called septa) — connective tissue extensions from the
capsule that divide the lymph node into compartments (supporting the framework and
separating cortex/paracortex/medulla regions).
• D points to efferent lymphatic vessels (draining lymph out) or possibly a medullary sinus.
