Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

M cells are specialized cells found in the intestinal lining that facilitate contact between antigens in the intestinal tract and the immune system by taking up and transporting antigens to immune cells in Peyer's patches, small clusters of immune cells located in the walls of the intestine. This is important for initiating immune responses against potential pathogens in the gut. The other choices are not directly related to the function of M cells.
