Question

Thymosin is responsible for.
A) Raising the blood sugar level
B) Raising the blood calcium level
C) Differentiation of T-lymphocytes
D) Decrease in blood RBC

Answer 1

In certain animal tissues, thymosins are small proteins present. As they were originally isolated from the thymus, they are called thymosins.

Complete answer:
- The secretion of various chemicals into the bloodstream is triggered by hormones. Different exercises like mental, physical and metabolic tasks are helpful for some hormonal improvements in the body. Some of the endocrine glands that are responsible for secreting different hormones are: Thyroid, pituitary, testes, thymus, ovary, adrenal, and pineal.

Now, let us find the solution from the options-
- Thymus produces a hormone called thymosin that improves resistance to infections by promoting the growth and differentiation of T cells.
- The production of precursor T cells in the thymus to mature T cells is induced by thymosin α1.
- Thymosin alpha 1 plays a key role in regulating cell immunity, inflammation and tolerance. Thymosin alpha 1 promotes the immune response.
- It also hastens sexual maturity attainment.
- Thymus does not have a role in sugar and calcium level and in RBC. Therefore, the option A, B, and D are incorrect.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C) Differentiation of T-lymphocytes.

Note: Thymosin is a thymus-secreted enzyme. Its key role is to promote T cell development, which is an essential part of the immune system. Thymosin also works to grow B cells into plasma cells in order to produce antibodies. Thymosin b4 is the primary form of thymosin.
