Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Histamine is a key mediator in the inflammatory system, unlike helper T cells, B cells, or vitamin K.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Specificity and memory are the defining characteristics of the adaptive immune system, and macrophages do not perform this particular role. Amplification of the immune response, destruction of virus-infected or tumor cells, and initiation of adaptive immunity are all components of macrophage activity.
