Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tissue fluid drains into the lymphatic system and then circulates through the lymph nodes. Cells that have captured antigen for presentation remain in the lymph nodes to interact with B and T cells. The spleen serves a similar function, but for pathogens that are circulating in the blood. The bone marrow and thymus are involved in B and T cell maturation, but are not involved in facilitating interactions between antigen and lymphocytes.
