Explanation:

The thymus gland is known for its role in the immune system. Thymosins are hormones secreted by the thymus. T - lymphocytes (T - cells) are a type of white blood cell. The thymus is the primary site for the development and maturation of T - lymphocytes. Immature T - cells migrate to the thymus where, under the influence of thymosins, they mature and develop the ability to recognize antigens and play crucial roles in cell - mediated immunity.

T - lymphocytes
