Answer:

Helper T cells stimulate B-cells to produce antibodies and killer T cells to destroy the non-self cells. Cytotoxic T cells on the other hand are direct attack cells. They can kill the micro organisms by creating pores on the invader's cell.

Explanation:

T lymphocyte mediated immunity of cell mediated immunity do not secrete antibodies but they help stimulate the B cells to produce them. Immature T cells are produced in bone marrow from where they migrate to thymus via blood. In the thymus maturation of T cells occur and then they migrate to lymphoid tissue and get differentiated into three types:

a. Helper T cells: As the name suggests, they help in activating other immune cells, in other terms they are the regulator of virtually all functions of immune system. Protein mediator called lymphokines are produced by these helper T cells in order to regulate the immune functions. Some examples of these lymphokines are: Interleukin-2 interleukin-3, interferon gamma. T helper cells stimulate the B-cells to produce antibodies.

b. Cytotoxic cells or killer T cells: The lymphokine interleukin-2 is responsible for the growth and proliferation of both cytotoxic T cells and suppressor T cells. With the help of receptor proteins on the surface of killer T cells, they bind to the specific antigen. After binding, they secrete a pore forming protein called perforins which create pores on the invaders cell membrane for water to enter into it thereby cell swells and finally lyse.

c. Suppressor T cells: They suppress the function of above two T cells.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Given what we know, we can say that In skeletal muscles, fast oxidative (intermediate) fibers are characterized as type ll-A, and they typically produce ATP through aerobic cellular respiration.

<h3>What are fast oxidative fibers?</h3>

These are a type of muscle fibers that can be trained. This means that they usually do not occur naturally but through continued muscle training by the individual. They are also referred to as enhanced fast-twitch muscle fibers. They are aerobic meaning that they require oxygen to undergo cellular respiration.

Therefore, we can confirm that fast oxidative (intermediate) fibers are characterized as type ll-A, and they typically produce ATP through aerobic cellular respiration.
