Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Bone marrow is a sponge-like tissue found inside the bones. That is where most immune system cells are produced and then also multiply.

Detailed explanation-3: -White blood cells protect your body against infection. As your white blood cells travel through your bloodstream and tissues, they locate the site of an infection and act as an army general to notify other white blood cells of their location to help defend your body from an attack of an unknown organism.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hematopoiesis is blood cell production. Your body continually makes new blood cells to replace old ones. Hematopoiesis ensures you have a healthy supply of blood cells to supply oxygen to your tissue (red blood cells), fight infection (white blood cells) and clot your blood when you’re injured (platelets).
