Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of B cells in the immune system. B cells are a type of white blood cell that produce antibodies to help fight infections.
Identify the primary lymphatic organs where B cells are found. These include the lymph nodes, spleen, and tonsils.
Recognize that the thymus is primarily involved in the maturation of T cells, not B cells.
Consider the function of the spleen, which filters blood and helps in the immune response, but is not the primary site for housing B cells.
Conclude that lymph nodes are the primary lymphatic organs that house B cells, as they are key sites for the activation and proliferation of B cells during an immune response.
