    What is the best medicine?

    • Laughter

Moreover, laughter promotes social bonding and enhances our overall well-being. Smiling can also have positive effects, but laughter goes beyond just a smile and has more comprehensive benefits.

    • Phagocytes

    • Macrophages

    Correct Answer
    A. Macrophages
    Explanation
    Macrophages are a type of white blood cell that play a crucial role in the immune response. They act as the first line of defense by engulfing and destroying foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses. Macrophages also release chemical signals called cytokines to alert other immune cells of the presence of pathogens. These cytokines act as distress signals, triggering a cascade of immune responses to eliminate the threat. Therefore, macrophages can be considered as the immune system's distress signal.

    What does dieting do?

    • Reduces number of killer cells

    • Reduces number of T-Cells

    • Harms the spleen

    Correct Answer
    A. Reduces number of killer cells
    Explanation
    Dieting reduces the number of killer cells. Killer cells are a type of white blood cell that play a crucial role in the immune system by identifying and destroying infected or abnormal cells in the body. When someone is dieting, they often restrict their calorie intake, which can lead to a decrease in overall immune function. As a result, the number of killer cells may decrease, compromising the body's ability to fight off infections and diseases.

    What cell allows us to remember previous invaders and prevents us from getting sick the next time by the same invader?

    • B-Cell

    • Lymphocytes

    • Granulocytes

    Correct Answer
    A. Lymphocytes
    Explanation
    Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that play a crucial role in the immune response. They are responsible for recognizing and remembering specific pathogens or invaders that the body has encountered before. This memory allows lymphocytes to mount a faster and more effective immune response upon subsequent exposure to the same invader, preventing us from getting sick. B-cells, a type of lymphocyte, produce antibodies that specifically target and neutralize pathogens, further enhancing the immune response. Therefore, lymphocytes are the cells that allow us to remember previous invaders and protect us from getting sick again.
