Subtracting heart volumes from thorax volume overestimates lung volume, since other organs (thymus, vessels, trachea and oesophagus) are included.
The organspecific differences with respect to morphology and cellular composition were noted between the pronephros and thymus.
A distance of less than 10 mm was only found in the eight patients with absent thymus at surgery.
Probably the population of thymocytes obtained from the thymus glands of newborn mice is not fully uniform.
In fish exposed to both parasite and pollutant, vacuolation and cellular disintegration of lymphoid organs was noted, particularly in the thymus.
Second, both lobes of the thymus must be exposed to guarantee efficient injection of alloantigen; this involves opening the chest via a sternotomy.
The effects on the ultrastructure and cellular composition of two immune organs, the thymus and the pronephros, and on pronephric lymphocyte stimulation are reported.
There was no normal thymus gland visible on gross inspection.
