Primary lymphoid Organs(introduction) and Thymus
Primary Lymphoid Organs
In humans the largest part of the lymphocyte development ccurs in specialized tissue of the primary lymphatic organs: bone marrow (liver in the fetal period) andthymus. There a large number of immunocompetent...

Primary lymphoid organ: Bone marrow
Production
The production of blood cells in bone marrow begins roughly 4-5 months after conception. Stem cells immigrate from the liver into the bone marrow, where the "microenvironment" is...

Tonsils and adenoids -
They are two lumps of tissues, on either sides in the throat, inserted in a pocket beside the palate (that's the roof of the mouth). The low edge of every single tonsil is near the tongue...way at the back of the throat. The adenoids really are a single...

MUCOSAL-ASSOCIATED LYMPHOID TISSUE
Introduction
The mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) initiates immune responses to specific antigens encountered along all mucosal surfaces. MALT inductive sites are secondary immune tissues where antigen sampling occurs and immune responses are initiated....

Cutaneous-Associated Lymphoid Tissue
The skin is an important anatomic barrier to the external environment, and its large surface area makes this tissue important in nonspecific (innate) defenses. The epidermal (outer) layer of the skin is composed largely of specialized epithelial cells...
