The descriptive traits of the thymus of twin fetuses.
The aim of the study is to establish formulae for the descriptive traits of twins' thymus. The formulae, apart from the fundamental types, also include numerous descriptive traits of the right and left part of the thymus and specify the nature of the joints of the parts. Devising the formulae for the thymus helped to compare pairs of twins of the same and of different sex.
