Pith, or medulla, is a tissue in the stems of vascular plants. Pith is composed of soft, spongy parenchyma cells, which store and transport nutrients throughout the plant. In eudicots, pith is located in the center of the stem. In monocots, it extends also into flowering stems and roots. The pith is encircled by a ring of xylem; the xylem, in turn, is encircled by a ring of phloem.
Throughout the lymph node's interior are a series of street-like channels called sinuses that help guide the flow of lymph from the afferent lymphatic vessels, through the cortex and medulla, and finally to the efferent lymphatic vessels at the hilum.ach lymph node chain is responsible for draining a particular body region or structure. For example, the lymph node chains in your armpits drain your arms and upper chest, while the chains in your groin are responsible for filtering lymph from your feet, legs, genitals, and lower abdominal wall.
Lymph nodes are concentrated in four main areas.   1.) cervical-neck region   2.) axillary-armpit area   3.) inguinal-groin   4.) deep within the abdomina â¦ l cavity. + 33 others found this useful.
