Which of the following systems protects our body against disease-causing microbes?

  • A.Immune system
  • B.Digestive system
  • C.Excretory system
  • D.Respiratory system

Answer: A

Correct answer: Immune system

The immune system is the body’s defence against pathogens: barriers such as skin and mucus keep most out, and the cells and antibodies of the blood and lymph deal with what gets in. The digestive, excretory and respiratory systems have their own jobs - though each carries immune defences of its own, such as gastric acid and the mucus-and-cilia escalator of the airways.
