Question

multiple choice question
where do t cells mature?
lymph nodes
yellow bone marrow
thymus
spleen

Explanation:

To determine where T cells mature, we analyze each option:

• Lymph nodes filter lymph and house immune cells but don't mature T cells.
• Yellow bone marrow is for fat storage and hematopoiesis in emergencies, not T - cell maturation.
• The thymus is the organ where T cells (lymphocytes) mature and develop immunocompetence.
• The spleen filters blood and stores blood cells, not for T - cell maturation.

Answer:

C. Thymus
