A ductless gland, consisting mainly of lymphatic tissue, located behind the top of the breastbone. It is most active during puberty, after which it shrinks in size. It plays an important role in the development of the immune system and produces lymphocytes
- a bilobed organ situated in the anterior mediastinum, which is the site of maturation of T lympchocytes from bone marrow-derived precursors Thymic tissue is divided into an outer cortex and an inner medulla and contains stromal thymic epithelial cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and numerous T cell precursors at various stages of maturation
a lymphoid organ located in the chest behind the sternum The thymus is a source of T-lymphocytes in children, but generally shrinks during adolescence The thymus is the site of T-lymphocyte differentiation, where the cells learn to recognize antigens The thymus produces some 30 hormones or thymic factors (e g , thymodulin, thymopentin, thymostimulin) that are involved in the regulation of immune function
Stimulates T-cell development for the immune system
Of, pertaining to, or designating, the thymus gland
An organ that is part of the lymphatic system in which T lymphocytes mature and multiply It is located in the chest, behind the breastbone
a lymphoid organ in the chest that is the site of lymphocyte formation and maturation as well as the secretion of thymic hormones An important function of the thymus is to weed out lymphocytes that react to proteins produced by the body ("self-antigens"), thus preventing autoimmune disease The thymus is a large organ during childhood, but shrinks during adolescence
{i} gland in the neck that is involved in the production of immune system cells
a glandular structure of largely lymphoid tissue that functions in the development of the body's immune system, located in the upper chest or at the base of the neck
Pyramid-shaped lymphoid organ (see lymphoid tissue) between the breastbone and the heart. Starting at puberty, it shrinks slowly. It has no lymphatic vessels draining into it and does not filter lymph; instead, stem cells in its outer cortex develop into different kinds of T cells (see lymphocytes). Some migrate to the inner medulla and enter the bloodstream; those that do not may be destroyed to prevent autoimmune reactions. This process is most active during infancy. If a newborn's thymus is removed, not enough T cells are produced, the spleen and lymph nodes have little tissue, and the immune system fails, causing a gradual, fatal wasting disease. Thymus removal in adults has little effect
An organ that is part of the lymphatic system, in which T lymphocytes grow and multiply The thymus is in the chest behind the breastbone
The thymus gland
A gland in the neck area responsible for immunologic maturity
a ductless glandular organ at the base of the neck that produces lymphocytes and aids in producing immunity; atrophies with age
A small gland located in the top of the chest behind the lung The thymus is an important part of the immune system
n (THIGH-mus) Small organ beneath the breastbone that functions in the development of the immune system
a lymphoid organ in the upper chest cavity The thymus is the site of T-cell differentiation, where the cells learn to recognize antigens The thymus produces some 30 hormones or thymic factors (e g , thymodulin, thymopentin) that are involved in the regulation of immune function

Thymus gland is an organ in the base of the neck, above and in front of the heart The thymus is enclosed in a capsule and divided internally by cross walls into many lobules, each full of T-lymphocytes (white blood cells associated with antibody production) T-lymphocytes migrate from the bone marrow to the thymus, where they mature and differentiate until activated
