GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your thymus produces and releases several hormones including: Thymopoietin: fuels the production of T-cells and tells the pituitary gland to release hormones. Thymosin and thymulin: help make specialized types of T-cells. Thymic humoral factor: keeps your immune system working properly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thymosin is the hormone of the thymus, and it stimulates the development of disease-fighting T cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The thymus is responsible for producing and maturing lymphocytes, or immune cells. These include T cells, a type of white blood cell that defends the body from infections. Additionally, the thymus suppresses the effects of aging, according to a 2016 study. Hormones released by the thymus inhibit the aging processes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thymosin is a 5-Da polypeptide hormone secreted by the thymus gland. Thymosin 1 stimulates the development of precursor T cells in the thymus to mature T cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -The thymus gland grows to its largest size during childhood and makes all the T cells we need before we become teenagers. After this, it gradually gets smaller, becomes less active and is replaced by fatty tissue. The thymus also produces a hormone called thymosin that helps make and develop T cells.
