Which lymphoid organs is a part of collection of tissues called the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues MALT and removes pathogens entering the pharynx throat?
The tonsils are lymphoid organs that are part of the Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissues or MALT. They remove pathogens entering the pharynx or throat.
What body system includes tonsils spleen and thymus are part of the?
Both spleen and tonsils are examples of large lymphoid masses so the are included in the lymphatic system.
Which human body system includes the tonsils thymus and spleen?
All of these are included in two of the human body systems:The Lymphatic System and the Immune System.Lymphatic System:Lymph nodesSpleenThymusBone marrowLymphatic vesselsLymphoid tissues in the Digestive System (e.g., lymphoid follicles, Peyer's Patch, appendix) aka MALT~Mucosal Associated Lymphoid Tissue aka GALT~Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue.TonsilsImmune System:Lymph nodesSpleenThymusBone marrowLymphatic vesselsLymphoid tissues in the Digestive System (e.g., lymphoid follicles, Peyer's Patch, appendix) aka MALT~Mucosal Associated Lymphoid Tissue aka GALT~Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue.TonsilsAdenoidsBlood cells ~ WBC, RBC, PlateletsAntibodiesB-CellsT-CellsSkin aka CALT~Cutaneous Associated Lymphoid Tissue)
What area of the lymphatic organs is also part of the skeletal system?
Bone marrow is part of the body's skeletal and lymphatic organ systems. It produces lymphocytes vital to the immune system.
What do Peyers' Patches do?
Peyer's patches are lymphoid follicles located in the wall of the small intestine. They are similar to the tonsils, they 1) destroy bacteria, preventing them from breaching the wall of the small intestine (which is technically "outside" the body) and entering the bloodstream. 2) the generate memory lymphocytes for long term immunity. They are a part of the collection of lymphoid tissues called MALT, mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue. Hope this helps! RN nursing student

No, elastin is a connective tissue and not considered a part of the lymphatic system.
WHere does lymphatic pathways begin?
Lymphatic Pathways begin when the lymphatic capillaries come out of the lymphatic vessels. Lymphatic Vessles leave to lymphnodes and act as a filter for the liquid is going through.

Appendix
Secondary lymphatic nodules associated with the nasal and oral cavities?
Secondary lymphatic nodules associated with the nasal and oral cavities are part of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). They are responsible for immune surveillance and defense against pathogens in these areas. These nodules contain lymphocytes, macrophages, and other immune cells, and their activation helps to initiate an immune response when needed.
Which part of the body is part of the lymphatic and immune system?
lymph nodes
What part of the body does mad cow disease affect?
The brain and spinal column, which is collectively called the Central Nervous System.
