Abstract:
This study was proposed to unfold the cellular details of different immune organs in turkey. The primary immune organs of turkey are the bursa of Fabricius and thymus whereas the secondary immune organs are spleen and harderian gland. The structural framework of immune organs was constituted by reticular cells in which other cellular population was seen. The immune cells of these organs were formed by lymphoblast, lymphocyte, plasma cell, dendritic cell and macrophages. Along with this other cells such as heterophil, erythrocyte, myoepithelial cell, myoid cell, mast cell in parenchyma were observed. The fibroblast and fibrocyte in stroma were also noticed in various immune organs.
