Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). A loosely organized collection of LYMPH tissue that underlies and integrates with epithelial tissue (the lining of mucous membranes) throughout the body. MALT reinforces the bodyâs immune presence and response in areas of the body that provide direct interface with the external environment. These areas, such as the gastrointestinal tract and the LUNGS, are most vulnerable to breaches that could allow pathogens to enter the body to cause INFECTION.
