The immune response: 1) and 2).
- Identifying and destroying harmful substances — a primary immune function (pathogen recognition, phagocytosis, antibody-mediated neutralization, etc.).
- Regulating hormonal and autonomic responses — true: immune signals (cytokines) interact with the endocrine system (e.g., HPA axis) and with the autonomic nervous system, so immune activity can modify hormonal and autonomic responses.
Not involved: increasing/supporting the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells — that is a function of the circulatory/hematologic and respiratory systems, not a direct immune action.
