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.
Recognize the maturation sites for T cells and B cells. T cells mature in the thymus, an organ located in the chest, which is crucial for their development and differentiation.
Identify the maturation site for B cells. B cells mature in the bone marrow, which is the soft tissue found in the hollow interior of bones.
Recall that the thymus is specifically associated with T cell maturation, while the bone marrow is associated with B cell maturation.
Match the correct maturation sites to the respective cells: T cells mature in the thymus, and B cells mature in the bone marrow.
