Your bone marrow is an area inside your bone that produces red and white blood cells. Your red blood cells carry oxygen to all parts of your body. Your white cells fight infection. Your thymus is a gland in your body. It does additional processing on a number of white blood cells. (Lymph glands do additional processing on others.) The thymus is extremely important so that a baby and a child can develop a good immune system. An old adult can do without a thymus. Bone marrow remains important all your life. If you stop producing red and white blood cells, you will be dead within a few weeks.
