If a patient has a condition that reduces the functionality of their natural killer (NK) cells, which of the following would they be most susceptible to?
- Reduced oxygen transport due to decreased red blood cell production.
- Viral infections and tumor development due to impaired cell-mediated immunity. (correct)

Description
Blood is a fluid connective tissue vital for transport, regulation, and immunity. It consists of red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes). Red blood cells contain hemoglobin for oxygen and carbon dioxide transport.
