The hilus itself contains "polymorphic" cells, that is, cells of varied morphology.
The branch pulmonary arteries were mobilized to the hilus in all patients.
The fascia dentata and the hilus together make up the dentate gyrus.
Granular cell precursors that will populate the dentate gyrus proliferate locally in the hilus.
It receives feedback connections from mossy cells in the hilus at distant levels in the septal and temporal directions.
Little or no anastomosis occurs between the superficial and deep lymphatics of the lungs, except in the region of the hilus.
Next, dentate precursor cells move out of this same area of the hippocampal neuroepithelium and, retaining their mitotic capacity, invade the hilus (core) of the forming dentate gyrus.
