The tonsils are lymphoepithelial structures that provide a protective immunological ring at the openings of both digestive and respiratory tracts. Here, as discussed by Marta Perry and Anthony Whyte, the unique nature of the various human tonsils reveals that they are capable of a variety of comple...
This chapter describes the distribution of immunocompetent and accessory cells in various locations of the palatine and nasopharyngeal tonsils. The chapter compares their numbers and function in aging and chronic infection, and reviews the development of B cells in the lymphoid follicles and crypt ...
The tonsil forms part of Waldeyer's ring of lymphoid tissue at the entrance to the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems. It functions as part of the mucosal associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), providing lymphocytes to identify and reject pathogenic organisms. The major function of the tonsil appe...
Tonsilsandadenoids. Located in your throat and nasal passage, tonsils and adenoids can trap invaders (like bacteria or viruses) as soon as they enter your body. Thymus. This small organ helpsT-cells(a specific type of white blood cell) mature before they travel elsewhere in your body to pro...

classified as either central or peripheral. the central lymphoid organs of the cat are the thymus and the bone marrow which are identified as areas of lymphocyte development and differentiation. lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen and peyer's patches of the gut are classified as peripheral lymphoid ...
were identified in the tonsils. Population one consisted of CD34+CD38lowcells that lacked expression of a range of lineage (LIN) markers, and population two were CD34+CD38hiLIN−cells. Low expression of CD38 by CD34+cells identifies multipotent haematopoietic progenitors, and upregulation of CD38...
At the surface of the respiratory and digestive organs the organism first comes into contact nasally and orally with various foreign agents and substances in the air and in food. The palatine tonsils are located at the centre of this strategic region. Immunological processes, both humoral and cel...

[69]. similarly, cells with the morphology and phenotypes of mz b-cells have been observed in the subcapsular sinus of lymph nodes, under the dome epithelium of peyer’s patches in the gut, and in the crypt epithelium of tonsils[101–104]. whether these cells have a similar role to ...
