Spleen, lymph nodes, adenoids, tonsils are the encapsulated secondary lymphoid organs. Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue distributed throughout the body such as alimentary canal, respiratory and urinogenital tracts etc. are the diffused secondary lymphoid regions.
The tonsils, adenoids, spleen and thymus are all part of the lymphatic system. There are hundreds of lymph nodes in the human body. They are located deep inside the body, such as around the lungs and heart, or closer to the surface, such as under the arm or groin, according to the American Cancer Society.
