Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is an organ of the lymphatic system that is responsible for the maturation of CD eight lymphocytes. So, in order to solve this question, we have to recall the different organs of the lymphatic system and which organ is responsible for the maturation of CD eight lymphocytes. And we can recall that those CD eight lymphocytes are specific T cells with CD eight markers on them. And we know that T cells develop their specific T cell markers. In this case, those CD eight markers in the thymus, which means that the thymus is the organ of the lymphatic system that is responsible for ma of CD eight lymphocytes. Making answer choice. A the correct answer and all other answer choices are incorrect since the spleen bone marrow and tonsils, which are organs of the lymphatic system are not responsible for the maturation of CD eight lymphocytes which is carried out by answer choice. A the thymus. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
