In the bone marrow, lymphoblasts—a type of blood stem cell—develop into mature, infection-fighting lymphocytes. The primary cells that comprise lymphoid tissue, a significant component of the immune system, are lymphocytes. The thymus gland, tonsils, spleen, lymph nodes, and adenoids all contain lymphoid tissue.
