Detailed explanation-1: -The thymus is a primary lymphoid organ found within the superior mediatinum, behind the upper part of the sternum. This organ is active in children, but at the start of puberty, until old age, it starts to atrophy, producing fewer T-cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -These lymphoid tissues collectively are thus referred to as mucosa associated lymphoid tissues (MALT). Examples include tonsils, the Peyer patches within the small intestine, and the vermiform appendix.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is MALT lymphoma? MALT stands for mucosa associated lymphoid tissue. The mucosa is the moist tissue that lines some organs and body cavities, including the nose, mouth, lungs, and digestive tract. So MALT lymphoma starts in the body organs, and not in the lymph nodes.
