Which of the following is true of the specific immune response?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The specific immune response, also known as the adaptive immune response, is characterized by its ability to remember past infections, leading to a more efficient and stronger response upon subsequent exposures to the same pathogen. This response is indeed controlled by T cells (and B cells) and is highly changed or adapted after the first exposure to a pathogen, making future responses more rapid and effective. Choices B and C describe aspects of the innate immune response, and D is incorrect because the response is actually faster and more robust upon second exposure due to the presence of memory cells.
