==Introduction==
 
''Also referred to as the reticuloendothelial system or mononuclear phagocytic system.''
 
It is comprised of [[Primary Lymphoid Tissue - Anatomy & Physiology|primary]] lymphoid organs which are responsible for the production of lymphocytes and the [[Secondary Lymphoid Tissue - Anatomy & Physiology|secondary]] lymphoid organs which function to provide an environment where [[Lymphocytes|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.
