Explanation:

The tonsils form a protective ring against microorganisms entering through the nose or mouth. The spleen is the largest mass of lymphoid tissue with the given functions. Lymph nodes filter lymph. Peyer's patches prevent bacteria from infecting the intestine. Lymph vessels are the one - way valved tubes. The thymus produces T - lymphocytes in fetus and infant.

Answer:

Form a protective ring against microorganisms that might enter through the nose or mouth - Tonsils
Largest mass of lymphoid tissue in the body that filters blood, digests worn - out blood cells, produces lymphocytes and plasma cells, and stores blood like a reservoir - Spleen
Filter lymph, removing foreign substances; contain a large concentration of lymphocytes that serve as antibody factories in the immune system - Lymph nodes
Prevent bacteria from infecting the walls of the intestine - Peyer's patches
One - way valved tubes that start as capillaries and merge into larger lymphatic ducts that eventually empty into the bloodstream near the heart - Lymph vessels
Produces T - lymphocytes in the fetus and infant that migrate to other lymphatic tissues and become antibody factories for the immune process - Thymus
