The document discusses several key components of the immune and lymphatic systems: - The tonsils are located in the back of the throat but their role in the immune system is unclear and they may be removed if causing issues. - The thymus produces T cells and plays an important role in immune tolerance; it is most active in infants and children. - The spleen filters old red blood cells and stores blood in case of shock. It can be removed if there is risk of infection. - Red bone marrow produces new blood cells and exists in the hollow interior of bones. - Lymph nodes throughout the body filter foreign particles and contain white blood cells. - Phagocytes are white blood cells
