GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your thymus is a small gland in the lymphatic system that makes and trains special white blood cells called T-cells. The T-cells help your immune system fight disease and infection. Your thymus gland produces most of your T-cells before birth.

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thymi of children 3 to 6 months old appear to be the most active: they have high numbers of total thymocytes, the highest percentage of double-positive cells, and large numbers of CD34 + progenitors in their thymi.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thumping, or tapping, your thymus gland stimulates your immune system, giving it a boost. Use thymus tapping to keep the gland active and boost your immune system. Gently tapping on the thymus gland creates vibrations that stimulate an increase in the maturation and release of white blood cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -The thymus is like a vocational school for immature lymphocytes to become trained soldiers in the immune system. Once the matured lymphocytes are released from the thymus, they go to live in the lymph nodes and have a role in fighting infections from invaders such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
