Peyer's patches are an essential part of the lymphatic system as they help to monitor the intestinal contents for the presence of harmful microorganisms and trigger an immune response to protect against infection. 

The patches contain specialized immune cells, such as B cells, T cells, and dendritic cells, that recognize and respond to foreign antigens. Thus, the presence of Peyer's patches in the small intestine is critical for maintaining the body's overall immune defense.

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
