The thymus gland is responsible for the maturation of lymphocytes (T cells), particularly important for the adaptive immune system. It undergoes involution, meaning it decreases in size and function with age, transitioning from lymphoid tissue to more fatty tissue. The thymus is also innervated by branches of the vagus nerve, which is part of the autonomic nervous system. It is not easily palpable in the mandibular region; that description would more accurately apply to salivary glands or lymph nodes in that area, not the thymus, which is located in the thoracic cavity above the heart.
