Detailed explanation-1: -Hassall’s corpuscles (HC) are commonly used as diagnostic features for identifying human thymus and are still present in thymuses undergoing fatty degeneration in young adults.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hassall’s corpuscles are special, unique structures present in thymic medulla and also in the cortex of all the age groups of Nandanam chicken (from hatch to forty weeks) in the present study. Size of the Hassall’s corpuscles in the medulla is larger than the ones present in the cortical region of thymus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hassall’s corpuscles (or thymic corpuscles (bodies)) are structures found in the medulla of the human thymus, formed from eosinophilic type VI epithelial reticular cells arranged concentrically.

Detailed explanation-4: -HASSALL’S corpuscles, a characteristic structure of the thymus, are composed of acidophilic concentrically arranged cells.
