Schematic view of the lymphoid tissues in the mouse head. Positions of the different lymphoid tissues in the mouse head are shown in purple. The LDALT (1) is located near the nasolacrimal duct (nld, red). The NALT (2) is located on the floor of the nasal turbinates (nt) along the palatine (p). Both are densely supplied with lymphatics (green). Along lymphatics of the palatine, antigens of the LDALT and NALT are carried to lymph nodes of the neck region (3).
