PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lymphocytes develop in the thymus and bone marrow (yellow), which are therefore called central (or primary) lymphoid organs.

Detailed explanation-2: -These include the lymph nodes (where the highest lymphocyte concentration is found), the spleen, the thymus, and the tonsils. Lymphocytes are initially generated in the bone marrow. The lymphoid organs also contain other types of cells such as stromal cells for support.

Detailed explanation-3: -Primary lymphoid organs: These organs include the bone marrow and the thymus. They create special immune system cells called lymphocytes. Secondary lymphoid organs: These organs include the lymph nodes, the spleen, the tonsils and certain tissue in various mucous membrane layers in the body (for instance in the bowel).
