The thymus gland is not involved in compensating for the removal of the spleen in an adult. The red bone marrow, liver, and lymph nodes can all compensate for the functions of the spleen, such as filtering blood and producing immune cells. However, the thymus gland primarily functions in the development and maturation of T cells, which are a type of immune cell, and does not perform the same functions as the spleen.
