The primary function of the thymus is the processing and maturation of special lymphocytes (white blood cells) called T-lymphocytes or T-cells, which are associated with antibody production. T-lymphocytes migrate from the bone marrow to the thymus, where they mature and differentiate until activated.
in short the thymocytes present in the thymus produces the T lymphocytes

∙ 12y agoTwo major types of WBC's in the body are T cells and B cells. T cells are made in the thymus, hence the T.

∙ 10y agoI don't believe any blood cells are produced in the thymus. Lymphocytes T develop in the thymus, yet they are produced in bone marrow.

∙ 13y agono, t-cells are produced in the bone and moved to the thymus for maturation.

T-lymphocytes are produced in?
T-Cells are produced in bone marrow and they migrate to thymus and there it gets matured.
What do you mean by Calf thymus DNA?
The thymus is an organ in the upper chest, which all mammals have. The calf thymus is a thymus that belongs to a calf. Calf thymus DNA, is the DNA that can be isolated from this calf thymus. Calf thymus DNA is used for many experiments, because the thymus has a very high yield of DNA (calf thymus DNA has a yield of approx. 2.542% (w/w))
Where are t-cells kept?
T-cells are not kept. They circulate through the blood stream. More are produced in the bone marrow and processed in the thymus.
When does the thymus begin to degenerate?
After puberty the thymus degenerate

If a child born without a thymus gland why do they have to be in a germ free environment?
The thymus gland is the gland that produces T lymphocytes needed for fighting infections and bacteria. Without the the thymus gland the child has no way to fight foreign bacteria and viruses. Which will result in sepsis and death, In other words no thymus gland, no way to fight infections.

What organ in the lymphatic system is less important as we age?
The lymphatic or lymphoid organ that decreases in size and in function as a person ages is the thymus gland. The thymus gland, which is situated in the chest area, is important because it plays a major role in the immune system. It is in this gland that T-cells are produced.
Where is a T cell produced?
All T cells originate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. Hematopoietic progenitors derived from hematopoietic stem cells populate the thymus and expand by cell division to generate a large population of immature thymocytes. The thymus is an organ located in the upper anterior position of the chest cavity just behind the sternum. The main function of the thymus is to provide an area for T lymphocyte maturation.
What gland helps with our immune system?
The Thymus gland.
What is a disease that can affect the thymus gland?
Scientists beleive that disorder of thymus gland can cause Myasthenia Gravis , a disease of severe muscle weakness . In this antibodies are produced against Ach receptors of neuro-muscular junction .
What is the organ in which t cells mature?
T cells mature in the thymus The T-cells mature in both the thymus gland and the organs known as tonsils.
