Cell Specialization: T cells

There are a couple of different types of white blood cells, but I am going to focus on T-cells, or lymphocytes. T-cells are shaped like a sphere with spikes sticking out called T-cell receptors. They are produced in bone marrow and then are transported to the thymus (located under the breastbone). There are two kinds of T-cells; killer (which attack infested cells), and helper (which help with "coordinating" the attack). A T-cell only has a nucleus and no other organelles.  As I said before, T-cells specialize in attacking infected cells. They release a toxin called cytotoxin which will kill the infected cell. T-cells are a part of the connective tissue, specifically the blood and bone part.
