PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your thymus produces and releases several hormones including: Thymopoietin: fuels the production of T-cells and tells the pituitary gland to release hormones. Thymosin and thymulin: help make specialized types of T-cells. Thymic humoral factor: keeps your immune system working properly.

Detailed explanation-2: -The thymus also produces a hormone called thymosin that helps make and develop T cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The thymus is an organ that is critically important to the immune system which serves as the body’s defense mechanism providing surveillance and protection against diverse pathogens, tumors, antigens and mediators of tissue damage.

Detailed explanation-4: -The greater part of lymphocyte development in mammals occurs in the specialized environments of the central lymphoid organs-the bone marrow (and the liver in the fetus) for B cells and the thymus for T cells.
