Secondary (or peripheral) lymphoid tissues or secondary lymphoid organs provide a site for immune responses to occur and are populated by relatively mature [[Lymphocytes#T cells|T cells]] and [[Lymphocytes#B cells|B cells]], [[Macrophages|macrophages]] and dendritic cells with each tissue providing a different environment.The secondary lymphoid tissues are:
Secondary (or peripheral) lymphoid tissues or secondary lymphoid organs provide a site for immune responses to occur and are populated by relatively mature [[Lymphocytes#T cells|T cells]] and [[Lymphocytes#B cells|B cells]], [[Macrophages|macrophages]] and dendritic cells; each tissue seems to be preferentially populated by lyphocyte types that specialise in the antigens that are most likley to be presented at that site. The secondary lymphoid tissues are:
