Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which antibody is primarily found in mucosal areas such as the gut and respiratory tract?
  • Step 1: Understand what antibodies are. Antibodies are proteins made by the immune system to help fight off infections.
  • Step 2: Learn about different types of antibodies. There are several types, including IgA, IgM, IgG, IgE, and IgD.
  • Step 3: Focus on IgA. IgA is a specific type of antibody that is important for protecting mucosal areas.
  • Step 4: Identify where mucosal areas are. Mucosal areas include places like the gut (intestines) and the respiratory tract (lungs and airways).
  • Step 5: Conclude that IgA is primarily found in these mucosal areas, helping to defend against germs that enter through these surfaces.
