- Like or relating to the lymphatic system of the body
- Resembling lymph; also, resembling a lymphatic gland; adenoid; as, lymphoid tissue
- resembling lymph or lymphatic tissues
- {s} pertaining to lymph or lymphatic tissue, resembling lymph or lymphatic tissue
- lymphoid tissue
- Cells, tissues, and organs composing the immune system, including the bone marrow, thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes. The most highly organized components are the thymus and lymph nodes, and the least organized are the cells that wander in the loose connective-tissue spaces under membranes lining most body systems, where they can establish lymph nodules (local lymphocyte production centre) in response to antigens. The most common lymphoid tissue cell is the lymphocyte. Others are macrophages, which engulf foreign materials and probably alter them to initiate the immune response, and reticular cells, which produce and maintain thin networks of fibres as a framework for most lymphoid organs. See also immunity; lymphatic system
