Answer:

The thymus gland can be described as a gland that functions both for the endocrine system and for the immune system.

In the immune system, thymus gland plays a vital role in the development of the T-cells. If thymus gland wouldn't be there, then there will be a reduction in the T- cells of the body. Hence, the immunity of the body will be suppressed.

The thymus, till the time it is active, also protects the body from autoimmunity. If thymus is absent, then there will be suppressed autoimmunity in the child.

Which vitamin can be synthesized in significant amounts by humans and, therefore, may NOT be essential
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The correct ansqwer is- Vitamin D

Explanation:

Vitamin D is the vitamin that can be synthesized by the human body itself therefore it is not an essential vitamin for human beings. Human skin is the part that helps in making this vitamin in humans.

The natural form of vitamin D is vitamin D3 which is formed by the sunlight exposure on the skin. When we expose our skin in the sunlight the UV radiation penetrated our skin and converts provitamin D3 into pre-vitamin D3 then this previtamin can be isomerized into the natural form of vitamin D Which is vitamin D3. So the right answer is vitamin D.
