AGE-RELATED CHANGES OF VASCULAR BED WITHIN THYMUS GLAND IN MORPHOLOGICAL COMPARATIVE RANGE OF VERTEBRATE ANIMALS (CHORDATA, VERTEBRATA)

At present time, the issue of age-dependence of morphological parameters of the thymus blood vessels in members of various terrestrial vertebrates classes has been poorly studied, due to the lack of comparative morphological approaches. Therefore, the main goal of our work was to specify this kind o...
