Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thymus secretes several hormones, including thymosin, that are important in the development and maturation of T cells, which are a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response. Thymosin also stimulates the development of lymphatic organs, such as lymph nodes, and regulates the activity of other immune cells, such as macrophages. The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism, the adrenal gland produces hormones involved in stress response and blood pressure regulation, the spleen filters blood and stores immune cells, and the parathyroid regulates calcium levels in the blood.
