Structurally:

o They all have a capsule
o They are rounded organs with an internal parenchyma of lymphoid cells
o They are placed strategically about the body in order to maximally filter air/blood/lymph - see functional similarities

Functionally:

o All of these organs are involved in the immune system
o Their role is to filter air/blood/lymph and expose the white blood cells within them to foreign material and thus activate the body's immune system

Thanks, but those are similarities. The question asks how they differ. Slight Smile
