Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of T cells and B cells in the immune system. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity, while B cells are responsible for humoral immunity.

Identify the maturation sites for T cells and B cells. T cells mature in the thymus, an organ located in the chest, which is crucial for the development of the immune system.

Recognize that B cells mature in the bone marrow, which is the soft tissue found in the hollow interior of bones. This is where B cells develop and differentiate.

Review the options provided in the problem: Bone marrow; Thymus, Thymus; Bloodstream, Hypothalamus; Bone marrow.

Select the correct option based on the maturation sites: Thymus for T cells and Bone marrow for B cells, which corresponds to the option 'Thymus; Bone marrow.'

Open Question

Your friend tests her snake-wrangling skills on an eastern diamondback rattlesnake, and is bitten and envenomated (injected with the snake's venom). In the emergency department, doctors administer the antivenin CroFab, which contains antibodies to the toxins in snake venom. Is this an example of active or passive immunity? Will this confer any lasting protection to your friend?
