Descriptions
In birds, the bursa of Fabricius (Latin:Bursa cloacalis or Bursa fabricii)is the site of hematopoiesis, a specialized organ that, as first demonstrated by Bruce Glick and later by Max Cooper and Robert Good, is necessary for B cell development. Mammals generally do not have an equivalent organ; the bone marrow is often both the site of hematopoesis and B cell development. The €˜B€™ in €˜B cell€™ refers to bursa-derived. This is simply because during the 1960s B cells were first defined (and distinguished from thymus-derived T cells) in birds, which have a bursa. A decade later, after examining almost every other organ including the appendix, researchers finally discovered that mammalian B cells develop in the bone marrow. The fact that €˜bone marrow€™, like bursa, starts with a €˜B€™ is a (fortunate?) coincidence. External links:MeSH A15.382.520.604.

An epithelial outgrowth of the cloaca in birds similar to the thymus in mammals. It atrophies within 6 months after birth and remains as a fibrous remnant in adult birds. It is composed of lymphoid tissue and prior to involution, is the site of B-lymphocyte maturation. Source: National Library of Medicine, MeSH 2006
