Introduction
Also referred to as the reticuloendothelial system or mononuclear phagocytic system. It is compromised of primary lymphoid organs which are responsible for the production of lymphocytes and the secondary lymphoid organs which function to provide an environment where lymphocytes can react to antigen from the tissue fluid, blood and mucosal surfaces.
The main functions of the lymphoreticular system are removal of senescent cells and production of immune cells.
