Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that primarily reside in lymphatic tissue, such as lymph nodes, thymus, and spleen. They play a critical role in the immune system by recognizing and responding to foreign antigens.

Answer: B
 Lymphocytes have relatively short life spans compared to other cell types in the body. They typically live for a few days to several weeks, and then they are replaced by newly produced lymphocytes.

Answer: D
 Lymphocytes are produced in red bone marrow, but they may also mature in other organs such as the thymus. The process of lymphocyte development is called lymphopoiesis.

Answer: E
 While lymphocytes do circulate in the blood, they spend a significant amount of time in lymphatic tissue where they are involved in immune surveillance and responses.
