      Hi! So, most white blood cells are made inside our bones, in the bone marrow. Some immune cells are created in the bone marrow then go to a gland called the thymus (just behind your greast bone) to finish maturing. So your bones are not only important for your body shape and structure, they’re also important for your immune system!
