Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adaptive defenses, also known as acquired or specific immunity, rely on the activities of lymphocytes, including B cells and T cells. These cells are able to recognize and respond to specific antigens, providing targeted protection against pathogens. Monocytes, leukocytes, and agranulocytes also play roles in immune defense, but they are not specific to adaptive defenses. Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are not involved in immune defense at all.
