Lymphoid structures that form in peripheral tissues in response to chronic inflammation and that have functional and morphological similarities with secondary lymphoid organs. Molecular mimicry The possible cross-reactive activation of autoreactive B cells or T cells that are specific for self-derived epit...
The major and secondary, or accessory, reproductive organs perform different duties. The ovaries and testes make up the gonads, the body's primary reproductive organs. Both the egg and sperm cells, as well as the hormones, are made in primary organs....

Ultrasound.This test uses sound waves, not radiation, to create pictures of your insides. A small, smooth device called a transducer is rolled across your abdomen. The low-power sound waves it makes bounce off your tissues and organs. A computer then creates images from these echoes. ...
Nerves carry electrochemical signals to and from different areas of the nervous system as well as between the nervous system and other tissues and organs. Nerves are divided into four classes: Cranial nerves connect your sense organs (eyes, ears, nose, mouth) to your brain Central nerves ...
