Are interrupts only found in BIOS? I may be misunderstanding here-- but are interrupts only found in BIOS and not UEFI systems?

More context: 
"Through standardized calls to the BIOS (“interrupts” in computer parlance), the operating system can trigger the BIOS to read and write to the disk and interface with other hardware components."

I read this in a paper I'm reading and thought that interrupts may only be accessible in BIOS.  I found some old stackoverflow answers (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15101183/does-booting-in-efi-mode-mean-that-i-shall-not-have-access-to-bios-interrupts) that also confused me into thinking that interrupts are not programmable/accessible in UEFI.
Almost all CPUs contain interrupt lines. Both Bios and UEFI provide services for handling interrupts on these lines. UEFI is an extended version of the old Bios. So, UEFI provides all services provided by Bios.
