Morphofunctional Structure of Thymus in Children in Different Regions

To date, one of the most important problems for researchers is the study of the morphology, physiology and pathology of the immune system, which is primarily related to the demands of clinical medicine[12,21,24]. New environmental, social and other factors have also begun to have a significant impact on the human body. The thymus gland, being an endocrine gland, plays an important role in the formation of the child's body. Therefore, we studied the structure (macromicroscopic picture) of the thymus on 39 corpses of children. As a result of the study of the thymus in children of the second period of childhood, it was found that in the thickness of the cerebral layer there are different growth of the Gassal corpuscles, blood capillaries, lymphatic slits. The cellular composition of the cerebral layer is diverse, there are lymphocytes in large numbers, larger light epithelial and reticular cells, as well as macrophages. In the cortical zone, the cellular composition is mainly lymphoid elements, mitoses are found in some of them, the cortical zone prevails over the cerebral one. We have established that there is a direct connection between changes in the thymus gland (morphological structure) from the place of residence in Kyrgyzstan.
