Question

If the immune system responds inadequately to antigenic stimulation, this is termed
A)hypersensitivity.
B)autoimmunity.
C)cell-mediated immunity.
D)immunodeficiency.

Accepted Answer

Immunodeficiency occurs when the immune system responds inadequately to antigenic stimulation, resulting in an increased susceptibility to infections and diseases. Hypersensitivity refers to an excessive immune response to an antigen, while autoimmunity occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues. Cell-mediated immunity is a type of immune response involving T cells and their interactions with infected or cancerous cells.
