Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The complement cascade and its by-products are known to trigger inflammation and attract phagocytes, making choice E the best answer. While the complement system does play a role in facilitating the release of interferons during the immune response, this is not a direct effect of the complement cascade or its by-products. Option A is partially correct, as the complement system may attract phagocytes to sites of infection due to the presence of complement fragments that signal for phagocytosis, but it does not appear to be a primary way in which the complement system functions. Option B is also partially correct, as the complement system can induce inflammation through the release of complement fragments that act as chemotactic agents for inflammatory cells, but it is not the sole trigger for inflammation in the immune system.
