Which Immune System Protects the Body from Its Own Cancerous

Question

Which immune system protects the body from its own cancerous cells?
A) cell-mediated immune system
B) antibody-mediated immune system
C) enzyme immune system
D) inflammatory immune system

Accepted Answer

The cell-mediated immune system is responsible for identifying and destroying cells that have become cancerous or infected with viruses. This system involves T cells, which can recognize and destroy abnormal cells by releasing cytokines or directly attacking them. The antibody-mediated immune system is involved in fighting off infections caused by bacteria and viruses, but not in recognizing and destroying cancerous cells. The enzyme and inflammatory immune systems also do not specifically target cancer cells.
