Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There are estimates that about 12% of all lymphoid cells in the human body are found in the bone marrow at any given time (2% in the peripheral blood). Enormous numbers of T lymphocytes migrate to the bone marrow and partly return later to the blood. Many of these lymphocytes are memory CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two major types of lymphocyte: B lymphocytes, which mature in the bone marrow; and T lymphocytes, which mature in the thymus. The bone marrow and thymus are thus known as the central or primary lymphoid organs.
