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: -In mature individuals, development of new T cells in the thymus slows down and T-cell numbers are maintained through division of mature T cells outside of the central lymphoid organs. New B cells, on the other hand, are continually produced from the bone marrow, even in adults.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thymus. The thymus is located behind the breastbone above the heart. This gland-like organ reaches full maturity only in children, and is then slowly transformed to fatty tissue. Special types of immune system cells called thymus cell lymphocytes (T cells) mature in the thymus.
Detailed explanation-4: -[1] The thymus is the organ primarily responsible for the production and maturation of immune cells; including small lymphocytes that protect the body against foreign antigens. The thymus is the source of cells that will live in the lymphoid tissues and supports their maturation and proper function.
Detailed explanation-5: -An organ that is part of the lymphatic system, in which T lymphocytes grow and multiply. The thymus is in the chest behind the breastbone.
