| | SECONDARY LYMPHOID ORGANS, Art Anderson's Immunology Lecture Notes |
 | | The spleen filters blood and is the largest single lymphoid organ in the body. | | | The mucosal immune system is the most dispersed, the most diverse and the most complicated lymphocytic system in the body. | | | The innervation of Peyer's patches is extensive and the diversity of adrenergic and peptidergic nerve endings in patches is greater than for any other peripheral lymphatic tissue. |

| | HISTOLOGY |
| | The thymus is a bilobed primary lymphoid organ which lies mostly in the superior mediastinum. | | | Lymph passes through various lymphoid organs where antigens are presented to lymphocytes, ultimately leading to an immune response. | | | In birds, the B-cell maturation site is the bursa of Fabricius, which humans don't have (unless Dr. Philo knows otherwise). |

| | [Activation of the major omentum-associated lymphoid tissue in Crohn disease] |
| | The mucosa associated lymphoid tissues of the intestinal lamina propria or the bronchial mucosa, respectively, represent a separated and well defined immunologic compartment. | | | Mononuclear cells from surgically resected omentum tissue (10 patients with Crohn's disease, 10 patients with malignomas or inflammatory control diseases (diverticulitis)) were isolated by collagenase digestion and subsequent serial density centrifugation. | | | We conclude that omentum associated lymphoid tissue may be described as an unique immunologic compartment which may play a role in activating events in chronic intestinal inflammation in Crohn's disease. |

| | Lymphoid Tissue |
| | Lymphatic tissue is one of the "hemopoietic tissues" and the one that produces lymphocytes and monocytes, important cells in the immune system response. | | | Although lymphoid tissue is found throughout the body, some organs are specialized structures of the lymphoid system, while others have nothing to do with the system of lymph transport. | | | Both the lymphoid organs and the lymphoid tissue help defend the body against disease by filtering out such harmful particles as pathogens and cancer cells from the lymph, tissue fluid, and blood. |
