ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Active Immunity results when exposure to a disease organism triggers the immune system to produce antibodies to that disease. Active immunity can be acquired through natural immunity or vaccine-induced immunity.

Detailed explanation-2: -A type of immunity that occurs when a person is given antibodies rather than making them through his or her own immune system. For example, passive immunity occurs when a baby receives a mother’s antibodies through the placenta or breast milk.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adaptive immunity: Adaptive (or active) immunity develops throughout our lives. We develop adaptive immunity when we’re exposed to diseases or when we’re immunized against them with vaccines. Passive immunity: Passive immunity is “borrowed” from another source and it lasts for a short time.

Detailed explanation-4: -Naturally acquired immunity (NAI) refers to the capacity of individuals living in malaria endemic areas to develop an adaptive immunity against Plasmodium infection and disease with age and exposure that protects them against the negative effects caused by the pathogen (Doolan et al.

Detailed explanation-5: -Types of immunity: Active natural: Body produces antibodies in response to exposure to a live pathogen. Active artificial: Body produces antibodies in response to a vaccine. Passive natural: Antibodies are passed from the mom to her baby through the placenta and breastmilk.
