  2. THYMUS • I am the vanishing gland. You need me most during your childhood years and I begin to disappear when you reach puberty. I secrete a hormone, which helps to stimulate lymphoid cells to produce T-cells. You need me to help fight off diseases. Who am I?

  3. PANCREAS • I control how “sweet” you are. I keep your blood sugar within normal limits. If your blood sugar is too high, I produce insulin. I also play a role in the digestive system. Who am I?

  4. TESTES • You thank me for all those muscles you have and that deep voice. I am the reason you need to shave everyday. Who am I?
