Lobe of the Thymus Gland

The Thymus Gland is one of the most important structures in the human body. It is located in the upper part of the chest. Its main function is to support the immune system. Damage to the thymus gland can weaken the immune system and increase the risk of developing various diseases.

At the same time, the size of this gland varies from person to person and depends on hereditary factors. The average size of a thymus lobe is approximately 60 grams. In children it can be even less, and in adults it can be more. But in some people the portion of the thymus gland is larger than the average size.

The portion of the forks in the glands consists of various cells, which are divided into three main groups: T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes and special macrophages and lymphocytes.

The most important group are T-lymphocytes. They play a key role in the immune system and can protect the body from various pathogens. In addition, they promote the production of antibodies, which help fight infections.

B lymphocytes are also part of the thymus iron lobe and support the production of special proteins that are involved in the immune response to various allergens. These proteins are called immunoglobulins and play a key role in protecting the body from infections.

Special macrophages and lymphocytes also play an important role in maintaining the immune response. Macrophages capture and destroy germs and other pathogens, while lymphocytes produce antibodies that prevent re-infection by viruses.
