where are T-lymphocyte produced?

it's produced in bone marrow but mature in thymus and that's why it's called T.
the B cell is also produced in bone marrow and it matures in bone marrow that's why it's called B.

there are 2 types of t cells:

1.) helper t cells- help activate other t cells and b cells

2.) cytoxic t cells- attack body cells that are infected with pathogens
