Question

If thymus gland of an infant is removed, which of the following will not form?

• A. T lymphocytes
• B. B lymphocytes
• C. Erthryocytes
• D. Granulocytes

Answer 1

The correct option is A T lymphocytes

The thymus is the primary lymphoid organ located in the neck of the vertebrates. The size of thymus gets reduced with the age. It provides the maturation site for T lymphocytes. T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes are produced in bone marrow but T lymphocytes gain maturity in thymus and B lymphocytes gain maturity in bone marrow it self. If thymus gland of an infant is removed then matured T lymphocyte will not form.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
