Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The thymus gland, located behind your sternum and between your lungs, is only active until puberty. After puberty, the thymus starts to slowly shrink and become replaced by fat. Thymosin is the hormone of the thymus, and it stimulates the development of disease-fighting T cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The thymus is located behind the third rib, but any vibrations along the length of the upper sternum will stimulate it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adrenal glands produce hormones that help regulate your metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, response to stress and other essential functions. Adrenal glands are composed of two parts-the cortex and the medulla-which are each responsible for producing different hormones.
