Which glands produce a hormone that stimulates cells in the immune system?
The thymus gland produces a hormone called thymosin, which helps in the development and maturation of T-lymphocytes in the immune system.
Why does the thymus shrink as we age?

You can lead a very normal life without a Thymus gland. If removed in adulthood, other organs (such as bones) take on the production of T-cells for immunity. T-cells have a very long life and can support immunity requirements throughout a normal life span.
