Explanation:
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: -Precursors of T cells migrate from the bone marrow and mature in the thymus. This process is similar to that for B cells, including the sequential rearrangement of antigen receptor gene segments.
Detailed explanation-3: -The thymus produces and secretes thymosin, a hormone necessary for T cell development and production.
