The adenoids, appendix, spleen and thymus are considered lymph organs because they contain hundreds of lymph nodes. These nodes contain thousands of monocytes and lymphocytes which are white blood cells that protect the body from and defend the body against pathogens.

∙ 14y agoYou have the primary and secondary lymphatic organ.
Primary is where you have the lymphocytes develop and mature. Once mature they move to secondary lymphatic organ.
So primary ones like liver, thymus and red bone marrow. Liver (fetus) for getting rid of stuff, red bone marrow produces RBC and thymus producing thymocytes.
These thymocytes migrate to the secondary lymphatic organ where they continue development in the spleen.
So basically the lymphatic organ not only helps with the immunity but also hematopoesis (producing red blood cells etc.)
