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").
nope they develope in bone marrow.
False, the Thymus lacks B cells.
T-cells are lymphcytes that develop in the thymus, and are used to search and destroy inferior antigens by stimulating b cells to produce antibodies and activate killer t-cells to get rid of them.

red bone marrow
The primary function of the thymus is the processing and maturation of special lymphocytes (white blood cells) called T-lymphocytes or T-cells, which are associated with antibody production. T-lymphocytes migrate from the bone marrow to the thymus, where they mature and differentiate until activated. in short the thymocytes present in the thymus produces the T lymphocytes
B cells were named based on their discovery in the bursa of Fabricius in birds, where they were first identified. This process of discovery led to the "B" in B cells, which has since become a universally recognized term for these important immune cells.
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).
Bent Rubin has written: 'A study of the functional specificity of non-thymus processed (B) and thymus processed (T) lymphocytes' -- subject(s): T cells, B cells
The plasma cells develop from transformed b cells.
They are made in the bone marrow, but B cells mature in the spleen and T cells mature in the thymus.
T cells mature in the thymus The T-cells mature in both the thymus gland and the organs known as tonsils.
