ANS: D p
The function ofthe immune system is to recognize self from nonself and defend the body against
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
nonself. Such a system is necessary for survival. The immune system also has nonspecific
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
effector mechanisms that usually amplify the specific functions. Nonspecific components of the

immune system include mononuclear phagocytes, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and soluble

factors (e.g., complement).
