Structure and Immune Function of the Lymphatic System

The video tutorial explores the lymphatic system's role in the immune system, detailing how immune cells recognize antigens and become activated. It covers the structure and function of lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and mucosal associated lymphoid tissues (MALT), highlighting their roles in immune response and regulation. The lymphatic system facilitates interactions between immune cells, ensuring efficient defense against pathogens.

Discuss the role of B cells and T cells in the immune response.

What is the significance of the thymus in T cell development?

How do mucosal associated lymphoid tissues (MALT) contribute to immune defense?

What mechanisms do mucosal surfaces employ to prevent infection?
