The lymphatic mass found low in the throat overlying the heart is the thymus gland. It plays a crucial role in the immune system, particularly in the development and maturation of T-cells, which are essential for adaptive immunity. The thymus is most active during childhood and gradually shrinks and is replaced by fatty tissue in adulthood.

What gland found in the upper thorax overlying the heart and large during youth?

What are the small organs found on lymphatic vessels called?
Lymphatic vessels are vein-like tubes connected at one end to the tiny organs known as lymph nodes, which carry the lymph (serum full of white blood cells) from the lymph node to the heart. Lymphatic nodes are part of the Lymphatic System, which helps the Immune System fight against pathogens. Whenever you get sick with the flu or some similar virus, your lymph nodes can become swollen--this is why doctors feel the side of your throat when they check you over at an appointment! They're checking to see if your tonsils (lymph nodes in your throat) are swollen.

Which layer of the heart wall is made up of endothelium overlying connective tissue?
The endocardium is the layer of the heart wall that is made up of endothelium overlying connective tissue. This layer lines the interior of the heart chambers and valves, providing a smooth surface for blood flow.
What ors not correctly pair an organ with its organ system heart lymphatic system?
The heart does not correctly pair with the lymphatic system; it is part of the circulatory system. The heart functions to pump blood throughout the body, while the lymphatic system is responsible for transporting lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells. The correct organ pairing for the lymphatic system would be the lymph nodes or spleen.
What are facts about the lymphatic sysytem?

The lymphatic system.
Is Lymph is pumped through the lymphatic system by your heart?
yes it is
Does lymph have a pump like a heart?
No the lymphatic system did not have any pump like blood circulation systme. The lymph is moved along the lymphatic vessel network by either intrinsic contractions of the lymphatic vessels or by extrinsic compression of the lymphatic vessels via external tissue forces.
