RBC's are destroyed in liver while WBC's are destroyed in:
Correct answer: C. Inside various cells of body
- A. Plasma
- B. Liver
- C. Inside various cells of body
- D. Outside the blood stream
Explanation
White blood cells are destroyed inside various cells of the body, where they encounter and destroy foreign substances through mechanisms like phagocytosis. This process is crucial for immune response and defense against pathogens. RBCs, on the other hand, are primarily destroyed in the liver where they are broken down and recycled. Option C is the correct answer as it accurately describes the destruction location of WBCs. Option D is not as precise as it focuses on the movement of WBCs outside the bloodstream, which is a part of their immune response but not the primary location of destruction.

About Specific Defense Mechanism
Specific defense mechanisms provide targeted immunity through B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, antibodies and memory cells that recognize particular antigens. Questions cover humoral and cell mediated responses, clonal selection, primary and secondary immune responses, vaccination and passive immunity, while distinguishing adaptive defenses from the immediate, non specific innate response.
