Hints for Slide ERG 16.  

This specimen may be moderately difficult, mainly because the actual source may receive less attention than other organs (and also because every specimen displays a different appearance).  This specimen is nominally "normal", although many peculiar features do appear.  This is an organ where variations in growth are fairly typical.

Note that this is a solid organ (as opposed to a hollow or tubular one).

Pay careful attention both to parenchyma and to stroma.  

Hints on the next page are more revealing.  Don't look until you are ready to confirm your identification.
