Question

Bone marrow plays an important role in the human immune system. Explain how it is able to achieve this.

Answer 1

Bone marrow is crucial to the immune system as it produces white blood cells, including B cells (which make antibodies) and T cells (which fight infected cells). It is the site of hematopoiesis, the process by which all blood cells, including immune cells, are formed. It also stores memory cells that help fight future infections.
