The Immune System

Question 8 • FL-2000310-Biology 1 Sem 2

What is the role of Langerhans cells?

Answer
A
prevent pathogens from entering the body using antibacterial agents
B
destroy pathogens that enter the body using white blood cells
C
identify pathogens that enter the body and carry them to lymph nodes for destruction

Explanation

Langerhans cells are immune cells in the skin that capture and identify invading pathogens. They then carry information about the pathogens to nearby lymph nodes, where an immune response can be activated to destroy them. This matches choice C, rather than directly blocking entry or destroying pathogens themselves.
