structure located behind the sternum in the mediastinum, which plays a major role in the immune system, but also makes hormones

T3 and T4 function

hormones that stimulate growth, cell differentiation, O2 consumption, basal metabolic rate.

growth hormone

hormone that stimulates linear growth and muscle mass

parathyroid hormone

hormone that raises blood calcium levels

Thymosins

hormone produced in thymus that targets T lymphocytes to stimulate production and maturation to T lymphocytes

epinephrine and norepinephrine

hormones that aid body during stress by raising heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration

cortisol

hormone that increases resistance to stress, increases blood glucose levels, and decreases inflammation

Aldosterone

hormone that regulates sodium and potassium levels in the body; regulation of sodium also can affect blood pressure and blood volume

insulin function

hormone that lowers blood glucose levels

Glucagon

hormone that raises blood glucose levels

diabetes

A condition in which the body is unable to produce enough insulin, the hormone required for the metabolism of sugar
