Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	bone marrow
B	spleen
C	thymus
D	kidney

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Precursors of T cells migrate from the bone marrow and mature in the thymus. This process is similar to that for B cells, including the sequential rearrangement of antigen receptor gene segments.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary parts of the immune system include the bone marrow and thymus. The bone marrow is extremely important to the immune system because all the body’s blood cells (including T and B lymphocytes) originate in the bone marrow. B lymphocytes remain in the marrow to mature, while T lymphocytes travel to the thymus.

Detailed explanation-3: -The thymus supports the differentiation of multiple distinct T cell subsets that play unique roles in the immune system. CD4 and CD8 / T cells, / T cells, NKT cells, Treg, and IEL all develop in and must leave the thymus to provide their functions elsewhere in the body.
