Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If the body is exposed to the same pathogen more than once, the antibody response is much faster and more effective than the first time around because the memory cells are at the ready to pump out antibodies against that antigen.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the primary response to infection, antibodies are secreted first from plasma cells. Upon re-exposure to the same pathogen, memory cells differentiate into antibody-secreting plasma cells that output a greater amount of antibody for a longer period of time.
Detailed explanation-3: -A secondary immune response occurs as a result of a second exposure to an antigen. It is a much more rapid and sustained response due to the action of memory immune cells.
