THE MORPHOLOGICAL APPEARANCE OF THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM IS ITS DEFENSE SYSTEM IN THE ORGANISM

Summary: an Important role in the body's adaptation to adverse endo - and
exogenous factors is played by the immune system (is), the importance of which in
maintaining immune homeostasis and, consequently, the necessary level of adaptive
potential of the body (APO), it is difficult to overestimate. This function is performed
in the interaction of various immunocompetent organs, one of which is the lymph nodes
(LU), visceral and peripheral (somatic) A new algorithm for studying the functional
immunomorphology of lymph nodes is proposed, based on the determination of five
parameters at the tissue level and the calculation of three coefficients. The new
approach allows us to objectively and accurately assess the structural and functional
state of organs both in normal and pathological conditions, which reflects the immune
status and the overall level of adaptive potential of the body.
