A red blood cell contains a large nucleus; it is thicker near the center and thin around the rim of the cell:

A newborn is protected against certain digestive and respiratory infections by IgA received via the mother’s milk.
IgA is the main antibody found in breast milk, and it coats and seals the baby’s respiratory and intestinal tract to prevent germs from entering the body and bloodstream.
Choice A is wrong because the blood does not contain IgA, which is the main antibody that protects mucosal membranes.
Choice B is wrong because the placenta does not transfer IgA to the fetus, but only some other antibodies such as IgG.
Choice D is wrong because the intestine does not produce IgA in newborns, as they are born with low levels of IgA.

The pancreas is an organ that has both endocrine and exocrine functions.
As an endocrine gland, it secretes hormones such as insulin and glucagon that regulate blood sugar levels.
As an exocrine gland, it releases substances that neutralize stomach acid and digestive enzymes that break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
Choice A is wrong because the thyroid gland is only an endocrine gland.
It secretes hormones such as thyroxine and calcitonin that regulate metabolism and calcium levels.
Choice C is wrong because the anterior pituitary is only an endocrine gland.
It secretes hormones such as growth hormone, prolactin, and adrenocorticotropic hormone that regulate growth, lactation, and stress response.
Choice D is wrong because the liver is mainly an exocrine gland. It produces bile that helps digest fats and detoxifies the blood.
The liver also has some endocrine functions, such as producing insulin-like growth factor 1 and angiotensinogen, but these are not its primary roles.
