Yes, the thymus is the first lymphoid organ to develop in the human body. It is responsible for the maturation of T-cells, a type of white blood cell that plays a critical role in the immune system. The thymus is most active during childhood and adolescence, gradually shrinking in size as a person ages.

Is the liver of a fetal pig active?

Fetal pigs are relatively large with well-developed organs that are easily visible. As long as the pork industry exists, fetal pigs will be relatively abundant, making them the prime choice for classroom dissections. The development of the lymphatic system and the formation of blood circulation occur at different stages of fetal pig development. The first lymphatic organ to become present is the thymus. Lymphocyte builds up in the spleen on the 70th day. By day 77, the thymus is already completely developed and is distinguishable from other organs. Also, follicles are present on the tongue and intestines on day 77. On the 84th day, periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths appear in the fetal pig. By this time, the liver and bone marrow are active and functional.

All lymphoid organs develop from mesoderm?

false. NOT ALL lymphoid organs develop from mesoderm.Lymphatic tissues - develop by the end of the fifth week of embryonic development. develop from lymph sacs that arise from developing veins, which are derived frommesoderm.The first lymph sacs -paired jugular lymph sacs at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From there, lymphatic capillary plexuses spread to the thorax, upper limbs, neck and head. (Some enlarge, form lymphatic vessels)Each jugular lymph sac retains at least one connection with its jugular vein, the left one developing into the superior portion of the thoracic duct.unpaired retroperitoneal lymph sac -at the root of the mesentery of the intestine. It develops from the primitive vena cava and mesonephric veins. The sac establishes connections with the cisterna chyli but loses its connectionswith neighboring veins.paired posterior lymph sacs, develop from the iliac veins. - produce capillary plexuses and lymphatic vessels of the abdominal wall, pelvic region, and lower limbs - join the cisterna chyli and lose their connections with adjacent veins.anterior part of the sac from which the cisterna chyli develops, all lymph sacs become invaded by mesenchymal cells and are converted into groups of lymph nodes.spleen= develops from mesenchymal cells between layers of the dorsal mesentery of the stomach.
