Question

A teenager presents to the clinic with an infected wound from a bike accident. he asks, how does my body fight off the germs in my scraped arm? which is the nurse's best response? the cells that plays the central role related to the innate immune response to an infectious microorganism are:

a. t lymphocytes.

b. antibodies.

c. b lymphocytes.

d. neutrophils.

Answer 1

really, none of these answers are good. leukocytes are the body's general immune cell, and lymphocytes are a type of leukocyte. Antibodies are only used when fighting an infection that your body already has experience with, so I'm guessing it you have to pick from these answers, its "lymphocytes", but it's not really the best answer.
