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 also produces a hormone called thymosin that helps make and develop T cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -THE THYMUS IS A SPECIALIZED ORGAN THAT DIRECTS THE DEVELOPMENT AND SELECTION OF T CELLS WHICH DIRECT ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY. THYMIC FUNCTION IS SPATIALLY AND TEMPORALLY REGULATED AND WANES WITH AGE. THYMIC OUTPUT IS ESSENTIAL DURING EARLY LIFE TO ESTABLISH IMMUNE COMPETENCE AND HOMEOSTASIS BUT IS DISPENSABLE THEREAFTER.
Detailed explanation-4: -Immune cells synthesize, store and secrete hormones, which are identical with the hormones of the endocrine glands.
