WHAT IS THYMUS? |
The thymus is an internal gland located behind the upper part of the breastbone. The thymus gland, in earlier times was referred to as the "juvenilation organ". Today it is called the "the central switchboard of the body’s own defences". It has a weight of 37 grams and keeps its size until puberty. After sexual maturity, the thymus gland shrinks as life progresses.The thymus gland puts hormones into the blood and is responsible for growth and immunity. |
