Question
Cancer cells in these structures are detected by sentinel biopsies. Trypanosomes enlarge the jugulo·digastric type of these structures in Winterbottom’s sign. As centroblasts pass into these structures’ dark zones, cytidine de·aminase rapidly mutates their cell-surface receptors. In TNM staging, cancer cells invade these structures, then metastasize. Fluid enters these structures through an afferent vessel and drains out of a sub·capsular sinus. (*) Germinal centers in these structures and the spleen are the site of B cell maturation. The plague causes these organs to form buboes (“byoo-bose”) at the groin or under the armpits. For 10 points, the tonsils are an example of what bean-shaped structures that swell during infection? ■END■
ANSWER: lymph nodes [accept germinal centers or GCs; prompt on nodes; prompt on lymphatic tissue or lymphoid tissue or lymphoid organs; reject “lymph” by itself]
