Answer:

T cells provide an immune response against the antigen by attacking infected cells and provide immediate response against future infection, by producing antibodies.

Explanation:

T cells or the T lymphocytes are one of the major components of the acquired immune system. They are important to have an immune response against pathogens.

T cells act against intracellular antigens such as protozoa, viruses, and bacteria (intracellular), and providing help for the antibody response for extracellular pathogens. They are of four main types - CD4+ helper, CD8+ cytotoxic cells, memory T cells, and NK cells.

These cells release cytokines to directly attack infected cells and stimulate the production of more T cells. Some of these T cells will become memory T cells in preparation for secondary infections, and others become cytotoxic T cells to attack infected cells.

Recall what you know about nervous tissue to answer the following questions. Nervous tissue can generate and conduct ____ signal

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Nervous tissue can generate and conduct electrical signals that control the body.

Explanation:

The neuron is the specialized cell that provides function to nerve tissue. Given the structure of the neuron, this cell is capable of creating and conducting information in the form of electrical impulses or signals, by depolarizing its cell membrane and generating action potentials.

The information generated and transmitted by the neurons allows the nervous system to obtain internal and external information of the organism, as well as to control all the body functions.

The other options are not true because nerve tissue does not generate or conduct thermal or chemical signals to perform its function.
