Detailed explanation-1: -The primary lymphoid organs are the red bone marrow, in which blood and immune cells are produced, and the thymus, where T-lymphocytes mature. The lymph nodes and spleen are the major secondary lymphoid organs; they filter out pathogens and maintain the population of mature lymphocytes.
Detailed explanation-2: -THE THYMUS IS A PRIMARY LYMPHOID ORGAN ESSENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF T LYMPHOCYTES WHICH ORCHESTRATE ADAPTIVE IMMUNE RESPONSES.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lymphoid tissues are organized structures that support immune responses. The bone marrow and thymus are primary lymphoid tissues and the sites of lymphocyte development. The lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils and Peyer’s patches are examples of secondary lymphoid tissue.
Detailed explanation-4: -The thymus is a superior mediastinal retrosternal organ. It is bilobed and has two subcomponents: the cortex and the medulla and is made up of epithelial, dendritic, mesenchymal, and endothelial cells.
