Step 1

The thymus is situated in the upper forward portion of the chest, in the foremost prevalent mediastinum, behind the sternum, and before the heart. The spleen is underneath the left part of the diaphragm and has a smooth, convex surface that faces the diaphragm. A couple of soft tissue masses located at the back of the throat are called tonsils. The majority of lymph nodes are located in the neck, tonsils, armpits, groin adenoids, and mediastinum.
