Which of the Following Splenic Structures Forms Lymphoid Nodules

Question

Which of the following splenic structures forms lymphoid nodules?
A) red pulp
B) trabeculae
C) white pulp
D) medulla
E) cortex

Accepted Answer

The white pulp of the spleen forms lymphoid nodules, which contain T and B lymphocytes and are involved in immune function. The red pulp is responsible for filtering and removing damaged or old red blood cells, while the trabeculae are connective tissue strands that support the structure of the spleen. The medulla and cortex are found in lymph nodes, not the spleen.
