What are types of lymphoid organs?
Primary (thymus-bone marrow)
Secondary (spleen -lymph node-MALT)
Primary lymphoid organ function
In mammals, T cells mature in the thymus and B cells mature in the bone marrow.
Become mature:committed to specific antigen
Thymus:
Primary lymphoid organ
Thymus anatomy and location
• The thymus in mammals is a bilobed organ, located in the thoracic cavity , overlying the heart and major blood vessels. Each lobe is surrounded by a capsule and is divided into lobules. Each lobule is organized into cortex and medulla
Cortex content
Immature thymocyte (lack of CD44)
Medulla content
Mature thymocyte T-cell with (CD44)
What happens when immature cell (lack of CD44)pass to medulla
It’s will be destroyed via macrophages
Where the nurse cell located
Thymus (outer cortex)
Where epithelial cell located and features
1-thymus cortex (as network)
2-thymus medulla(as clusters)
Where APC (dendritic cell located in thymus)
Corticomedullary junction
Epithelial cell &dendritic cell express….
MCH ON SURFACE
Benfit of APC
Presentation of antigen to T cell
To TCELL DEVELOPMENT AND SELECTION
What’s the causes of thymus atrophy?
1-low level of steroid
2-high level of corticosteroids (cause cortical atrophy)
3-pregnancy
4-stress
Which part of thymus more suitable
For atrophy
Cortex is more atrophy
Medulla usually remain intact
Bone marrow information
Soft vascular tissue fills bone cavity of calcines bones
Bone marrow content
Heamatopoitcs cell and fat cell and osteogenic reticular cells
What the types of bone marrow
1-red marrow
2-yellow marrow
