Which of These Descriptions Best Matches the Term T Lymphocytes

Question

Which of these descriptions best matches the term T lymphocytes?
A) adhere to collagen beneath endothelium
B) are involved in cell mediated immunity
C) develop into plasma cells and produce antibodies in response to antigens
D) kill bacteria using hydrogen peroxide
E) often elevated in allergic individuals

Accepted Answer

T lymphocytes, also known as T cells, are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in cell-mediated immunity. They help to identify and destroy infected or abnormal cells in the body.

Answer: C
 Plasma cells are a type of B cell, not T cell, that produces antibodies in response to antigens. T cells do not directly produce antibodies, but they do play a role in activating B cells to produce antibodies.

Answer: A, D, and E
 None of these descriptions accurately match the function or characteristics of T lymphocytes. Adhering to collagen beneath endothelium is a characteristic of certain types of white blood cells, killing bacteria using hydrogen peroxide is a function of neutrophils and macrophages, and being elevated in allergic individuals is a characteristic of eosinophils and basophils.
