Talk:Thymus
From Academic Kids
The description of the second picture makes no sense. The description refers to several things (the thymus of a calf and then a camel, etc) while the image is obviously only one thing. Alex.tan 16:07, 17 May 2004 (UTC)
- Presumably, because both are herbivorous mammals, the structure of these cells are similar enough to be interchangeable for the purposes of illustration. The likelihood is that these cells are not identical between the calf and the camel, but this is common practice in biology texts. At any rate they're only sketches, not photographs.

[edit]
Add some new info
Just wanted to remind that info about different types of epithelioreticular cells can be added (e.g. because of the article about T cells), also there should be something wtitten about thymocytes. Sorry for not doing this myself, but really don't have time. --Eleassar777 08:30, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
