Thymus
Lymphocytes could be roughly divided into two categories. B cell and T cell.
Though they both originate from the bone marrow, T cell migrate to the" thymus," where it reach maturity while B cell got mature in the bone.
That is, T stands for thymus.
However, B doesn't mean "bone" actually, for B cell was first discovered in the "bursa of Fabricius" in a bird.

What Dampens activity of T and B cells?

How do T-Cells fight infection?
Helper T cells activate killer T cells.
What does high T waves on ECG mean?
High potassium in cells. hyperkalemia
Are cytotoxic T cells a type of T cell clone?
Yes, cytotoxic T-cells are a subset of T-cells that in contrast to helpter T-cells express CD8.
Which is only active during a specific immune responsible?

What does T in T cells stand for?
The T in T-cells stands for the thymus gland. Lymphocytes produced in the bone marrow are either become B-cells or they are matured in the thymus gland and are "trained" to be either Natural Killer T-cells, CD4 (Helper T-cells), CD8 (Suppressor T-cells).
What is the function of a t-cells?
T cells destroy pathogens.
What is the function of T-cells?
this is my question what is the function of t-cells?
Where do B cells and T cells migrate?
B-cells and T-cells are both produced in the bone marrow. B-cells stay in the bone marrow but T-cells migrate to the thymus
