Peyer's patches are specialized lymphoid tissues located in the lining of the small intestine, playing a crucial role in the immune system. They monitor intestinal bacteria and help maintain gut flora balance, facilitating immune responses to pathogens while promoting tolerance to non-harmful antigens. By producing immune cells like B and T lymphocytes, Peyer's patches contribute to the development of mucosal immunity, essential for protecting the gastrointestinal tract from infections.

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

What are the eight organs of the immune system?
