Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which immune cells are primarily involved in the adaptive immune response?
  • Step 1: Understand that the immune system has two main parts: the innate immune response and the adaptive immune response.
  • Step 2: Know that the adaptive immune response is the part of the immune system that learns and remembers specific pathogens.
  • Step 3: Identify the key players in the adaptive immune response, which are B lymphocytes (B cells) and T lymphocytes (T cells).
  • Step 4: Recognize that B cells are responsible for producing antibodies that target specific pathogens.
  • Step 5: Understand that T cells help in killing infected cells and also assist B cells in their function.
  • Step 6: Remember that both B and T cells have memory cells that help the body respond faster if the same pathogen invades again.
