It is the thymus gland.
The thymus gland is located in the neck region and extends into the upper chest or thoracic region, partially covering the heart. It plays a role in the development and maturation of T-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell essential for the immune system. The thymus gland tends to decrease in size and activity with age.
The pericardial sac, consisting of the parietal (outer) and visceral (inner) layers surrounds the heart. This contains a small amout of fluid to lubricate and cushion the heart as it expands and contracts, but it is not necessarily a gland.
