Answer and Explanation:

The Immune System. It comprises the white blood cells, lymphatic system, etc. The immune response is the production of antibodies in response to antigens present in pathogens and other foreign matter.

The leukocytes are formed in the bone marrow of long bones and lymph nodes. Their function is to protect the body from invasion of foreign material like bacteria and viruses( pathogens). They help fight against infections by engulfing and digesting pathogens and production of antibodies which are proteins that bind to pathogens. Their number increases greatly during infections.

Bumek [7]

It is true that telomerase activity declines with old age which explains why cells lose their ability to divide after many replications.

Telomeres are DNA–protein complexes found at the ends of each chromosome they contain repetitive sequences of DNA. Telomeres protect the genome from nucleic bases degradation, unnecessary recombination, repair, and prevent the fusion of chromosomes. Telomeres, therefore, play a vital role in preserving the information in our genome.

Telomeres shorten with every consecutive DNA replication cycle limiting the number of cell divisions a cell can undergo, Telomeres act as a tumor suppressor by halting the replication of cells which contains several mutations after many division cycles.
