What lymphatic organ prevents bacteria from breaching the intestinal wall?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Bacteria are prevented from crossing the intestinal wall by the integrity of the intestinal cells, particularly the tight junctions, as well as the mucus lining of the intestines. If bacteria make it into the interstitial space in the intestinal wall, there is a strong diffuse immune system presence in the form of the GALT (gut associated lymphatic tissue) that can quickly move to eliminate trans-locating bacteria.
However, there is no specific lymphatic organ, just a collected of lymph nodes and lymph tissues.
