Resume

This article analyzes the effects of various external environmental factors on thymus morphology. Factors such as alcohol, nicotine, ionizing radiation, stress, and temperature negatively affect thymus structure, resulting in a reduction in the number of lymphoid cells, disruption of cortical and medullary architecture, and impaired T-lymphocyte function. The obtained results may serve as a scientific basis for understanding the impact of environmental factors on the thymus and the immune system and for maintaining healthy living conditions.

Keywords: thymus, morphology, external environment, radiation, stress
