Answer 1

Answer: Programs T lymphocytes to become regulator or effector T cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

The thymus gland is found in the upper part of the chest between the lungs and behind the sternum.

Its function is to receive immature T lymphocytes produced by the red bone marrow and program them to become mature regulator or effector T cells which are involved in the immune system's response to foreign cells.
