MORPHOLOGY OF LYMPHOID STRUCTURES IN THE MATURE AGE PEOPLE’S MUCOUS TUNIC OF EPIGLOTTIS
The immune structures of mucous tunic of epiglottis were represented by the lymphoid nodules of round and oval shape. These masses are detected on the laryngeal surface of the organ. On whole mounts of the epiglottis the lymphoid nodules were located along its edges and at the base of the organ, and in aryepiglottic folds near excretory duct of glands. On histologic specimens the lymphoid nodules became localized to proper mucous plate directly under the basic membrane of epithelium.
