Detailed explanation-1: -The thymus gland is an important part of your immune system. It helps train the white blood cells that protect your immune system. Fortunately, most of your T-cells were produced before you were even born, and the rest were made during childhood and throughout puberty.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -THE THYMUS IS A PRIMARY LYMPHOID ORGAN ESSENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF T LYMPHOCYTES WHICH ORCHESTRATE ADAPTIVE IMMUNE RESPONSES.
Detailed explanation-4: -It is part of the lymphatic immune system and one of the functions of the thymus is to process and mature T cells ( also known as killer cells), the immune system’s “soldiers”. Thumping, or tapping, your thymus gland stimulates your immune system, giving it a boost.
