lymphoid
Immune system's texture
Lymphoid describes tissues and structures related to the lymphatic system, which produces and houses lymphocytes—white blood cells central to immune function.
Lymphoid organs include the thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes.
Lymphoid tissue in the tonsils helps fight infection.
The term distinguishes these structures from myeloid tissues, which produce other blood cell types.
