Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The liver is not classified as a lymphoid organ. Lymphoid organs are organs that are involved in the production, maturation, and proliferation of lymphocytes. The liver plays a role in a number of metabolic processes, but it is not directly involved in the immune response. B, C, and D are all examples of lymphoid organs: the spleen filters blood and produces lymphocytes; the tonsils are involved in the immune response to inhaled or ingested pathogens; and the aggregated nodules in the intestine (also known as Peyer's patches) are involved in the immune response to pathogens that enter the body through the digestive system.
