Introduction
Also referred to as the reticuloendothelial system or mononuclear phagocytic system. It is compromised of primary and secondary lymphoid systems that are composed of lymphoid tissues that both mature and proliferate lymphocytes.
Primary lymphoid tissues
Secondary lymphoid tissues
- Lymph nodes
- Spleen
- Mucosal Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT)
- Regional lymphoid tissue
