Explanation / Answer

8- organ is spleen and fumctions of spleen are:-

a- acts as graveyard of rbcs i.e. removes old and dead and malfunctioning rbcs from the blood by doing quality control i.e. goodand healthy rbcs can easily pass through it where as if a rbc cannot pass through it is not fit and hence acts as filter of blood

b- it also stores blood

c-it is also an lymphoid organ and also releases stored lymphocytes to fight infection.

9- mucosa associated with lymphoid tissue-lymphatic nodules located in the large and small intestine

10-white pulp- densely packed region of spleen

11-medulla- inner region of the thymus gland or a lumph node

12-afferent lymphatic vessel- structures that transport lymph to the lymph nodes

13- germinal centre- regions of lymphatic nodules where new lymphocytes are produced

14- thymic corpuscles-clusters of reticular epithelial cells present in the thymus gland

15-red pulp-sinusoids are located in the region of the spleen

16-cortex-outer region a the thymus or lymph gland

17-efferent lymphatic vessel-lyph exits the lymph node by draining into these structures

18-tonsils- lymphatic nodules located in the pharynx
