Which is an effect of a compromised immune system?

a.)decreased antibody production
b.)improved ability to fight disease
c.)increased lymphocyte production
d.)reduction in pathogens entering the body

The correct answer would be  A.) decreased antibody production.

The immune system refers to the defense system of an organism. this system protects the organism from pathogens and other foreign invaders.

It accomplished with the help of different cells and organs such as skin, bone marrow, thymus, natural killer cells, B cells, T cells et cetera.

Antibodies are one of the cells produced by the immune system (B cells) which help in fighting against a particular pathogen or foreign particle.

Thus, the compromised immune system would result in the decreased production of antibodies which would make it difficult for the organism to fight against disease or a pathogen.

endocrine glands secrete hormones into the blood stream near them; the hormones then travel in our bloodstream until it reaches its destination, called a target cell, in distance parts of the body. in the target tissue, hormones lock onto the target’s plasma membrane, called the receptor site.
