Peyer's patches (or aggregated lymphoid nodules) are organized lymphoid nodules, named after the 17th-century Swiss anatomistJohann Conrad Peyer. They are aggregations of lymphoid tissue that are usually found in the lowest portion of the small intestine ileum in humans; as such, they differentiate the ileum from the duodenum and jejunum.
Peyer's patches are not considered organs in the traditional sense. They are lymphoid nodules found in the mucosa of the small intestine and play a role in the immune response against pathogens that enter through the gastrointestinal tract.
this is true!
Lymphoid tissue can be found in various parts of the body, including the lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, and adenoids. Additionally, lymphoid tissue is also present in the bone marrow and the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) located in the digestive tract and respiratory system.
Yes, lymphoid organs are larger and more complex structures that contain lymphoid tissue. Lymphoid tissue, on the other hand, refers to collections of immune cells found throughout the body, including in lymphoid organs such as the spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes.
Five minerals that may be found in nodules are manganese, iron, cobalt, copper, and nickel. These minerals are commonly found in nodules formed on the ocean floor.
Nodules are hard to mine because they are found in very deep water
the tonsils
they are found growing the roots of plants e.g. cress
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.
it is rhizobium
