Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
B-lymphocytes are considered the stars of the immune system because:
A
They recognize
B
They produce antibodies that attach to their cell membranes.
C
They produce and release antibodies to fight antigens.
D
All of These
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -B cell or B lymphocyte (bursa-derived cells) is a key player of the adaptive immune response that is responsible for humoral immunity in mammals. B-cell production in humans is a lifelong process that starts in the fetal liver intrauterine and bone marrow after birth. Their development is from hematopoietic stem cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The T and B lymphocytes (T and B Cells) are involved in the acquired or antigen-specific immune response given that they are the only cells in the organism able to recognize and respond specifically to each antigenic epitope.

Detailed explanation-3: -B lymphocytes are part of the immune system and develop from stem cells in the bone marrow. Also called B cell. Blood cell development. A blood stem cell goes through several steps to become a red blood cell, platelet, or white blood cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -You might think B-cells got their name because they are made inside your bones. It is true that most blood cells are made inside the bone marrow, but that is not where the “B” in B-cells came from. Their name comes from the name of the place they were discovered, the Bursa of Fabricius.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lymphocytes account for about 25% of white blood cells, and B cells represent approximately 10% of total lymphocytes.

Detailed explanation-6: -B lymphocytes generate specific antibodies that mediate clearance of pathogens in the body and at mucosal surfaces and thus are key players in the immune system.
