Detailed explanation-1: -The primary function of the thymus gland is to train special white blood cells called T-lymphocytes or T-cells. White blood cells (lymphocytes) travel from your bone marrow to your thymus. The lymphocytes mature and become specialized T-cells in your thymus. After the T-cells have matured, they enter your bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-2: -The thymus makes white blood cells called T lymphocytes. These are also called T cells. These are an important part of the body’s immune system, which helps to fight infection. The thymus gland grows to its largest size during childhood and makes all the T cells we need before we become teenagers.

T cells also fight foreign presences, but in two ways: Helper T cells help B cells and Killer T cells grow. Killer T cells directly kill cells that have been infected.
