Summary Introduction

Introduction: The thymus is a bilobed gland; each lobe is surrounded by a capsule (a connective tissue). It is located in the superior mediastinum to the heart. The size of the thymus is much larger in children; however, it considerably reduces in size when they grow older. It grows up to the age of 5 to 6 and regresses in adult. It is one of the important primary lymphatic organs in humans.
