Multiple Choice

In what way does blood assist in immune function?

It secretes synovial fluid to lubricate joints and reduce friction.

It generates nerve impulses to coordinate skeletal muscle contraction.

It transports leukocytes and antibodies that help identify and eliminate pathogens.

It produces digestive enzymes that break down proteins in the small intestine.

검증된 단계별 안내

Step 1: Understand the role of blood in the immune system. Blood is a connective tissue that circulates throughout the body, carrying various cells and molecules essential for immune defense.

Step 2: Identify the components of blood involved in immune function. These include leukocytes (white blood cells) and antibodies, which are proteins produced by certain white blood cells.

Step 3: Recognize that leukocytes help identify and eliminate pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and other foreign invaders by attacking and destroying them or signaling other immune responses.

Step 4: Understand that antibodies bind specifically to antigens on pathogens, marking them for destruction or neutralization, thus aiding in immune defense.

Step 5: Conclude that blood assists immune function primarily by transporting these leukocytes and antibodies throughout the body to sites of infection or injury, enabling an effective immune response.
