Question

Which of the following lymphoid organs is NOT matched with its function? bone marrow:_________ a) form lymphocytes Peyer's patches: b) site of B cell maturation thymus: c) site of T cell maturation spleen: d) remove old red blood cells

Answer 1

Peyer's patches: b) site of B cell maturation

Step-by-step explanation:

B lymphocytes are produced in the bone marrow and get mature in the bone marrow only so the site of B cell maturation is bone marrow, not Peyer's patches. B cells produce antibodies that help in destroying microbes.

Peyer's patches are lymphatic tissue mass which is found especially in the mucosa and submucosa of the ileum. This lymphoid organ has a large number of B lymphocytes which monitors the intestinal bacteria and prevents the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the intestine.
