Expert Answer
(i) Thymus is the primary lymphoid organ. Immature lymphocytes differentiate into antigen-sensitive lymphocytes. If thymus gland is removed from the body of a person, his immune system becomes weak as a result the person’s body becomes prone to infectious diseases.
(ii) Unusual hypersensitive reactions form a condition called allergy. The cells responsible for such reactions are mast cells.
