small gland in the chest that matures immune T-cells

The thymus is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the upper chest, just behind the sternum. It plays a crucial role in the immune system by producing and maturing T-cells, which are essential for adaptive immunity. The thymus is most active during childhood and gradually shrinks with age, a process known as thymic involution.
