Regulatory T cells (Treg) suppress the action of other T cells. This inhibits immune responses to self-antigens, aiming to prevent the immune system from attacking normal self cells.

What Treg cell that inhibits the activity of B and T lymphocytes?

The Treg cell that inhibits the activity of B and T lymphocytes is called the CD4+ regulatory T cell, specifically the FOXP3+ subset. These cells play a crucial role in maintaining immune tolerance and preventing autoimmune responses by suppressing the activation and proliferation of other immune cells, including B and T lymphocytes. They achieve this through various mechanisms, including the secretion of inhibitory cytokines and direct cell-to-cell contact.

What cells suppress the immune response in order to prevent over activity?

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a type of immune cell that suppress the immune response to prevent overactivity. They play a crucial role in maintaining immune tolerance and preventing autoimmunity by controlling and regulating the activity of other immune cells.

Describe how cancer cells differ from normal cells both structurally and in cell activity?

 Cancer cells differ from normal cells structurally as they look majorly clumped with unusual patterns or formations. Cancer cells differ in cell activity compared to normal cells greatly as they are constantly growing and dividing while normal cells do not and stop growing and dividing when touching another cell.


What cell produces somatostatin?

Delta cells, also known as D cells, are responsible for producing somatostatin in the pancreas. Somatostatin is a hormone that inhibits the secretion of other hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, and has various functions in the body including regulating digestion and inhibiting the release of growth hormone.


What is the control center of the cells?

The nucleus is the "control center" of the cell because it regulates most of the cell activity.
