The endocrine system is the collection of glands that produce hormones which regulate metabolism, growth and development, sexual function, tissue function, reproduction, sleep, and mood, among other things. The endocrine system consists of the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal...
a ductless, butterfly-shaped gland lying at the base of the neck, formed mostly of lymphatic tissue and aiding in the production of T cells of the immune system: after puberty, the lymphatic tissue gradually degenerates. Also calledthy′mus gland`. ...
The gland does continue to have endocrine function. T cells are divided into T-helper cells and T-killer cells (cytotoxic cells). Cytotoxic T cells have CD8+ proteins on their surface, and attach to infected cells and destroy them directly. Helper T cells receive information about the ...

What is the function of T cells in the immune system? Explain why the actions of the thymus demonstrate a close functional connection between the lymphatic system and the endocrine system. Other than its functions, what other functions are associated with the lymphatic system?

Your attention should also be directed to the fact that, as indicated in my manuscript and in my summary of the discussion of thymosin, lymphoid tissue structure and function are influenced by all adenohypophysial tropic hormones and their target endocrine gland products. Thus, growth hormone, th...

The thymus gland regulates theimmune systemthrough the development of immune cells responsible for cell-mediated immunity. In addition to immune function, the thymus also produces hormones that promote growth and maturation. Thymic hormones influence structures of theendocrine system, including the pituitar...
