Secondary Lymphoid Organs

Question

Secondary lymphoid organs
A)are strategically located in the body.
B)facilitate interactions between cells.
C)are hematopoietic.
D)are the site of T cell maturation.
E)are strategically located in the body AND facilitate interactions between cells.

Accepted Answer

Secondary lymphoid organs, such as lymph nodes and the spleen, are strategically located in the body to allow for efficient surveillance of potential pathogens. They also facilitate interactions between immune cells, allowing for immune responses to be initiated and coordinated. While they do contain immune cells, they are not hematopoietic nor are they the site of T cell maturation.
