Summary Introduction
To review:
Match the term B cells with the most closely related description given below:
Rapid secondary response.
Responsible for cell-mediated immunity,
Produce antibodies.
Aid in immune surveillance.
Contains developing T cells.
Immunoglobulins.
Responsible for antibody-mediated immunity.
Production of lymphocytes.
Saclike chamber of the thoracic duct.
Largest lymphatic organ in the body.
Introduction:
B cells are one of the most important immune cells present in the body of an individual. The B cells are formed as well as matured in the bone marrow of an individual. The B cells further differentiated as the plasma and the memory B cells.
