Mucosa-atrophy
or shrinking of the intestinal mucosa

The most important circumstance with allergies is the atrohpy of the villous and mucous organ, as the illustration shows systematically. As soon as the mucosa is being distroyed, the finger-shaped villi shrink and very important defence mechanisms, the Peyer's Plaques, become atrophied. These are being used for the production of defence cells. If these for the whole organism important immune mechanisms in the intestinal mucosa and the Peyer'schen Plaques fail, then the other, though not so mighty defence organs - tonsilles, adenoids and appendix - have to "help". This leads inevitably to local problems.
