Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -White blood cells (lymphocytes) travel from your bone marrow to your thymus. The lymphocytes mature and become specialized T-cells in your thymus. After the T-cells have matured, they enter your bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lymphocytes develop in the thymus and bone marrow (yellow), which are therefore called central (or primary) lymphoid organs.
Detailed explanation-3: -The thymus gland is in the chest, between the lungs and behind the breastbone or sternum. It is just in front of and above the heart. The thymus makes white blood cells called T lymphocytes. These are also called T cells.
