IMMUNOLOGY

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: -Passive immunity As the blood circulates, so do the antibodies and immune system cells that travel in blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -In medicine, the immune system’s way of protecting the body against an infectious disease. The three types of immunity are innate, adaptive, and passive.

Detailed explanation-4: -Active Immunity-antibodies that develop in a person’s own immune system after the body is exposed to an antigen through a disease or when you get an immunization (i.e. a flu shot). This type of immunity lasts for a long time.

Detailed explanation-5: -Active immunity is often acquired immunity, meaning it must be obtained over the course of a person’s lifetime. This is different from innate immunity which provides basic, non-specific protection against pathogens.

Detailed explanation-6: -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.
