The immune system plays an important role in protecting against pathogens and infections. There are various structures, organs, and cells that are involved in providing immunity to the host against pathogens. The medullary cords are one of them, which can be described as a dense structure of lymphatic tissues which functions in the production of antibodies that are released in the body through the lymph fluid.
