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.
