Summary Introduction
To review:
Match the term thymus with the most closely related description given below:
Rapid secondary response.
Responsible for cell-mediated immunity.
Produce antibodies.
Aid in immune surveillance.
Contains developing T cells.
Immunoglobulins.
Responsible for antibody-mediated immunity.
Production of lymphocytes.
Saclike chamber of the thoracic duct.
Largest lymphatic organ in the body.
Introduction:
The lymphoid organs are the prominent part of the immune system of an individual. The primary lymphoid organs are the ones, where the lymphocytes are formed and attains its maturity. Thymus and red bone marrow are the only two primary lymphoid organs present in the body of an individual.
