I hate to rain on your parade but the thymus gland is only active in kids and adults it is not all that important. T cells get made in the is endocrine system.

Angie, the thymus IS in the endocrine system. You apparently didn't read the entire post. The thymus activity is well documented, but doctors and others just don't think it through. Anybody who does would certainly never vaccinate themselves, their kids, or their animals.

Hi Victoria,

You ask an excellent question and I see the answer in cats. I have had several cats with no vaccines or drugs for three generations. When they died of old age, necropsy of one showed a good size thymus at age 20.
The vet who did the necropsy was flummoxed:-)
He was SO sure thymus just atrophies by puberty or so, and did the necropsy "to prove it".

Namaste,
Irene

Dear Angie,

Someone told you some fiction
And it does rain during some parades......
This fiction that the thymus is unimportant is the very reason that chronic disease is so rife in the population - in all species.

There are a few exceptions. Cows bred for meat are not necessarily vaccinated, and as adults they have a really good size thymus (I sent a picture recently of a slide of one).

I'm not sure either how you got the endocrine system muddled with the blood making system.
The endocrine system is the hormone system, a system of *glands* that produce hormones. Examples are thyroid (not thymus) gland, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, etc.
Hormones are chemicals produced in the body which tell some distant site what to do, (ie they do not act where they are produced.)

As for blood cells, they are ALL produced in the bone marrow, but many of them need to be further developed and matured in order to take on specific functions, and that takes place in the thymus. In fact the white blood cells that are matured in the thymus are called T-cells, where T is for Thymus.
B-cells are the ones matured only after being developed in Bone marrow (where B is for Bone marrow).

Neither bone marrow nor thymus is part of the endocrine system.

Pax - rainbow?

Namaste,
Irene

Thyroid is endocrine - not thymus-:)
Often confused.

Namaste,

"Man who say it cannot be done should not interrupt one doing it."

Depends whose classification you use, it is splitting hairs. As your own link says:
"The main thymus gland function is to produce and process lymphocytes or T cells (in T cells ‘T’ stands for thymus derived)."

how come not part of the system when it secrets a hormone thymosin?

will

ENDocrine systems have hormones from them as their major function.

Not so the thymus. The thymus has its major function as development of T cells, not production of hormones.
Also, thymosins are produced in many tissues, not just in the thymus.
They were named thymosins when they were first discovered, before it was known they occur in mulptiples places.
So the thymus is not primarily an "endocrine organ" as such.

Namaste,
Irene
