Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of T cells and B cells in the immune system. T cells are primarily involved in cell-mediated immunity, while B cells are responsible for humoral immunity.
Identify the origin of T cells and B cells. Both types of cells are derived from hematopoietic stem cells.
Recognize the primary site of production for these immune cells. Hematopoietic stem cells are located in the bone marrow, where they differentiate into various types of blood cells, including lymphocytes such as T cells and B cells.
Learn about the maturation process of T cells. After being produced in the bone marrow, T cells migrate to the thymus where they mature and become functional.
Clarify the role of the bone marrow and thymus in the immune system. The bone marrow is the site of production for both T cells and B cells, while the thymus is specifically involved in the maturation of T cells.
