PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The primary function of the thymus gland is to train special white blood cells called T-lymphocytes or T-cells. White blood cells (lymphocytes) travel from your bone marrow to your thymus. The lymphocytes mature and become specialized T-cells in your thymus. After the T-cells have matured, they enter your bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-2: -Primary Lymphoid Organs The B cell undergoes nearly all of its development in the red bone marrow, whereas the immature T cell, called a thymocyte, leaves the bone marrow and matures largely in the thymus gland.

Detailed explanation-3: -T cells develop in the thymus from precursor cells that migrate there from the hemopoietic tissues via the blood.

Detailed explanation-4: -The thymus makes white blood cells called T lymphocytes. These are also called T cells. These are an important part of the body’s immune system, which helps to fight infection. The thymus gland grows to its largest size during childhood and makes all the T cells we need before we become teenagers.
