Question

Accumulations of lymphocytes embedded in connective tissue networks are called ____________ and can be present in static locations or acutely accumulate in areas of infection.

Answer 1

Lymphatic Tissues- secondary lymphatic tissues.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tissues in the body where lymphocytes are found are called lymphatic tissues.These lymphocytes can be arranged in different forms in the lymphatic tissue.When arranged in cylindrical shape in groups they are called lymphatic patches.

The Lymphatic tissues can be primary when found in the thymus and bone marrow for maturation of antigen recognition lymphocytes, and removal of self -recognition antigens.

OR

Secondary Lymphatic tissues where antigen are accumulated,and the mature T and B lymphocytes recognise them, for adaptive response. it is the secondary lympahtic tissues that proliferation of Tand B cells to effectors and memory cells; occurs for migration to the sites of infections, to attack the antigens.

Invasion of the body by antigens can be at different locations in the body, thus the lymphatic tissues are well distributed in any part of the body( spleen, thymus,tonsils ) to provide protection, in anticipation of antigenic attack.

Answer 2

Answer: Lymphatic tissues

Explanation: Lymphatic tissues have various distinct configurational groups correlated to its specific purpose in the resistance of a particular infection reaction. Lymphatic tissues can be primary or secondary in basic features, the primary lymphatic tissues in humans being thymus and bone marrow. However, the lymphocytes are shaped from a long thin corroborative section of cells in the soft fatty material in the compartments of bones in which cells are generated and then distributed in the lymphatic tissue.
