anatomical locations.
b) The hematopoietic stem cell gives rise to white blood cells but a different
stem cell is the progenitor of red blood cells.

15. Name the primary lymphoid tissues in mammals and the main types of secondary
lymphoid tissue.
The primary (or central) lymphoid tissues are the bone marrow (and liver in the
fetus) and the thymus. The main secondary (or peripheral) lymphoid tissues are the
lymph nodes, spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (MALT). The latter
include gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), such as the tonsils, adenoids,
appendix, and Peyer’s patches, and bronchial-associated lymphoid tissues (BALT).
16. What is the difference in function between primary and secondary lymphoid tissues
and what are the principal events that take place in each?
Primary (or central) lymphoid tissues are the anatomical locations where
lymphocytes complete their development and reach the state of maturation required
for the recognition of, and response to, a potential pathogen. B cells mature in the
bone marrow and fetal liver, and T cells mature in the thymus. Both lymphocyte
lineages are derived from a common hematopoietic stem cell. Secondary (or
peripheral) lymphoid tissues provide the anatomical sites where lymphocytes
encounter antigen and immune responses are induced. Antigen is delivered to the
secondary lymphoid tissues through an afferent lymphatic vessel, and is retained in
the lymphoid tissue for encounter with lymphocytes bearing antigen-specific
receptors.
