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 else can I help you with?
What does high T waves on ECG mean?
High potassium in cells. hyperkalemia
How do T-Cells fight infection?
Helper T cells activate killer T cells.
What do T cells do What do b cells do?
t cells are killer cells b cells are antibodies
What are the 3types of t cells?
The three main types of T cells are: helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, and regulatory T cells. Helper T cells assist in activating other immune cells, cytotoxic T cells directly kill infected or abnormal cells, and regulatory T cells help control the immune response to prevent excessive reactions.
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).
Which is only active during a specific immune responsible?
T cells apex or B cells
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.
How do killer cells work?
Killer t cells are activated by helper t cells. The Helper t cells are alerted by the macrophage that has engulfed the virus. It grows antigens to alert the helper t cells. The killer t cells are like white blood cells, there purpose is to fight pathogens.
What are the 3 types of cells that helper t cells produce upon being alarmed of an antigen?
Helper T cells can produce three types of cells when alerted to an antigen: effector T cells, memory T cells, and regulatory T cells. Effector T cells help eliminate the antigen, memory T cells remember the antigen for future responses, and regulatory T cells help regulate the immune response to prevent excessive inflammation.
What does it mean to have elevated T 4 cells?
To have elevated T4 cells can mean a variety of things. Often times, this means that you have hyperthyroidism. However, this may also be altered if you are pregnant.
What is the difference between T-cells and killer T-cells?
Cytotoxic T-cells are just a specialized subset of T-cells that express CD8 (a co-stimulatory molecule). In general, there are two types of T-cells, helper T-cells that express CD4 and cytotoxic T-cells that express CD8. As the name implies, cytotoxic T-cells have the role of killing any infected cells.
What is the function of a t-cells?
T cells destroy pathogens.
