Study Notes
Lymphocyte Origins
- T-lymphocytes originate from the thymus gland.
- B-lymphocytes originate from the bone marrow.
Lymphoid Organ Functions
- The thymus gland is responsible for the maturation of T-lymphocytes.
MALT Function
- MALT (Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue) is responsible for the immune response in mucosal surfaces.
Activated B Cell Migration
- After differentiation, some activated B cells migrate to the bone marrow where they become plasma cells that produce antibodies.
