MORPHOFUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THYMUS IN NEW BORN PIGLETS OF THE LARGE WHITE BREED
The paper deals with the study on morphological characteristics of the thymus gland in newborn piglets of the Large White breed. It is pointed out that thymus is divided into the thoracic, isthmus and paired cervical lobes. Asymmetry of the cervical lobes, their buttonlike thickening, Slike bending of the left cervical lobe, have been established. Peculiarities of the thymus growth in the neonatal period are described.
