With Which of the Following is MALT Least Associated

Question

With which of the following is MALT least associated?
A) Immune function
B) Mucosa
C) Erythropoiesis
D) Phagocytosis

Accepted Answer

MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) is mainly associated with immune function and defense against infections, and it includes lymphoid tissues found in mucosal surfaces such as the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urogenital tracts. MALT is not associated with erythropoiesis (the process of red blood cell production) or phagocytosis (the engulfment and destruction of pathogens by immune cells such as macrophages).
