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 is located in the chest behind the breastbone. It plays a key role in immunity by producing white blood cells known as T cells. It also contributes to the production of hormones such as insulin. The organ’s primary function is maturing T cells, or T lymphocytes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most steps in T-cell differentiation occur in the cortex of the thymus. The thymic medulla contains mainly mature T cells.
