title: [Histophysiology of the thymus gland].
abstract: The article comprises a survey of the literature data on histophysiology of the thymus gland and a discussion of results of the authors' own observations of this gland in rats line "Vistar" in normalcy and in the presence in the organism of a transplanted tumour RS-1. Problems associated with histophysiology of the thymus, including such as differentiation of thymocytes, their relationships with the reticuloepithelial cells, the capacity of the latter for secretion, the role of the stratified epithelial bodies, the hematothymus barrier, etc., are discussed.
