Question
Lymphocytes that develop immunocompetence in the thymus are __________lymphocytes.
We put everything in our mouth since our childhood. Therefore our mouth is full of live bacteria. These bacteria are potentially dangerous if they cross our gut wall into our blood circulation. Fortunately we are protected from them by our gut's mucosal lining and the cells (macrophages, dendritic cells, B and T lymphocytes) in the lymphoid tissue called [a] (enter two words). This structure play a crucial role for the development of food tolerance or food [b] (enter one word), coeliac disease and chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
