- The article considers the influence of splenectomy upon morphofunctional status of thymus and lymphatic nodes in 120 adult non-linear rats (male and female) in 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, 90, 180, 270, 360 days after the intervention. By histological, morphometric and statistic research techniques it was determined that splenectomy exerted definite influence upon structural alterations and functional indices of thymus and lymphatic nodes; the interrelation of these structural transformations due to spleen loss (also the loss of functions performed by these organs) was demonstrated.
