MORPHOLOGICAL AND ANATOMICAL STRUCTURES OF THE THYMUS IN NEWBORNS

Children's health is a complex indicator, the formation of which, according to the World Health Organization, should be considered in unity with the health of the mother and the state of the external environment. Today, one of the most important problems for researchers is the study of morphology, physiology and pathology of the immune system, which is primarily due to requests of clinical medicine, given that the human body began to provide significant impact and new environmental, social and other factors. Thymus is the central organ of immunogenesis and endocrine gland. Infants with a pathology of the thymus gland have a high mortality rate. The main functions of the thymus gland (lymphatic, immunoregulatory and endocrine) are carried out mainly due to secretion by epithelial hormone cells, mainly of polypeptide nature - thymosin, thymopoietin, etc. Scientific data are a necessary element in clinical medicine for proper treatment and preventive measures in people with varying degrees of disability and pathology thymus.
