T cells and B cells are both lymphocytes produced in the thymus gland and act in the immune system. The T cells are mainly used in identifying antigens, while the B cells are used in the production of antibodies.

Compare and contrast the roles of B cells T helper cells Th cells and cytotoxic T cells Tc cells in your immune system?

B cells play a role in producing antibodies, while T helper cells (Th cells) help activate and coordinate the immune response. Cytotoxic T cells (Tc cells) are responsible for directly killing infected cells. Both Th cells and Tc cells are types of T cells, with Th cells regulating the immune response and Tc cells directly attacking infected cells.

What are the approximate percentages of T cells and B cells?

T cells and B cells are two types of phagocytes.?

T and B cells are two types of lymphatic cells.


What does the t cells and b cells do?

T cells are part of the immune system and help identify and destroy infected or abnormal cells in the body. B cells produce antibodies that help to neutralize pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, that have entered the body. Both T cells and B cells play crucial roles in the body's immune response.


T cells and b cells both arise from the what?

T cells and B cells both arise from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. They undergo differentiation and maturation in the thymus for T cells and in the bone marrow for B cells.


What are the three types of lymphocytes?

How do T cells and B cells of your immune system respond to pathogens?

T cells's primary task is to activate B cells and killer T cells. The B cells searchfor antigens matching its receptors. If it finds such antigen it connects to it, and inside the B cell a triggering signal is set off.


What are the two main immunocompetent cells?

The two main immunocompetent cells are B-lymphocytes (B-cells) and T-lymphocytes (T-cells). B-cells are responsible for producing antibodies, while T-cells have various roles including helping B-cells produce antibodies and directly killing infected cells.


Where do B cells and T cells migrate?

B cells and T cells migrate to secondary lymphoid organs such as lymph nodes and spleen to carry out their immune functions. Here, they encounter antigens, undergo activation, and differentiate into effector cells to mount an immune response.


Do B cells develop in the thymus?

No. Both B- and T-cell precursors come from the bone marrow. B-cells hang around in bone marrow to mature (hence the "B"). T-cells develop in the thymus (hence the "T").
