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).


How do dendritic cells activate T cells in the immune response?

Dendritic cells activate T cells in the immune response by presenting antigens to the T cells. This interaction triggers the T cells to become activated and initiate an immune response against the specific antigen.


How do B cells activate T cells in the immune response?

B cells activate T cells in the immune response by presenting antigens to T cells. This interaction triggers the T cells to become activated and multiply, leading to a coordinated immune response against the invading pathogen.


How do t helper 1 cells activate and assist in the activation of t cells?

T helper 1 cells activate and assist in the activation of T cells by releasing signaling molecules called cytokines. These cytokines help stimulate T cells to multiply and become more effective in fighting off infections. Additionally, T helper 1 cells can directly interact with T cells to provide necessary signals for their activation and function.


How do T cells contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases?

T cells play a key role in autoimmune diseases by mistakenly attacking the body's own cells and tissues. This can happen when T cells become overactive or fail to recognize the body's own cells as "self," leading to inflammation and damage to healthy tissues.

By secreting hormones the tymus causes what cells to become immunocompetent?

The thymus causes T lymphocytes (T cells) to become immunocompetent by secreting hormones that promote their development and maturation process.

What cells become immunocompetent when the thymus secretes hormones?

The lymphocytes become immunocompetent when the thymus secretes hormones. Lymphocytes are white blood cells that are found in a vertebrate's immune system.


When B and T cells are fully developed and mature they are described as being?

When B and T cells are fully developed and mature, they are described as being immunocompetent, meaning they are capable of recognizing antigens and mounting an immune response.


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.


When do lymphocytes become immunocompetent?

each lymphocyte must become able (competent) to recognize its one specific antigen bye binding to it. this ability is called immunocompetence.


Which major class of lymphocytes become cytotoxic T cells?

CD8+ T lymphocytes, also known as cytotoxic T cells, become cytotoxic when they are activated by presenting antigens on major histocompatibility complex class I molecules. These cells play a key role in the immune response by directly killing infected or abnormal cells.

B lymphocytes develop immunocompetence in the?

Directly from my anatomy and physiology book - Marieb & Hoehn Eighth Edition: "Lymphocytes originate in red bone marrow from hematopoietic stem cells." " B cells become immunocompetent and self-tolerant in the bone marrow."
