What is passive immunity and active immunity?
active immunity is the immunity that is stimulated internally as a a result of antibodies entering the body. Passive is stimulated by substances from an external source
What are the types of immunity?
The three types of immunity is innate immunity, adaptive immunity, and passive immunity.
What are 2 types of immunity?
The two types of immunity are innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity is the body's first line of defense and includes physical barriers like skin, as well as immune cells that respond to general threats. Adaptive immunity is more specific and involves the production of antibodies and immune memory to target particular pathogens.
Is adaptive immunity provided only by lymphocytes that secrete antibodies?
false
What type of immunity has the properties of specificity and memory?
Acquired immunity (also known as adaptive immunity) This immune reaction is quite fast due to the immune memory.
What are the following best describes the immunity stimulated by a vaccine?
active natural
Is lymphocytes in passive immunity?
it could be but it might be in the innate or adaptive immunity so you have about a 35 to 40% chance of being wrong or right
Is it true or false that the innate immunity is not stimulated by foreign antigens?
Don't worry
Which part of the immune system can most effectively eliminate influenza virus that has infected body cells?
We call this type of immunity adaptive---> natural----> active immunity. Here how it works: Adaptive immunity involves two classes of lymphocyte: B cells and T cells which work together in a coordinated system of adaptive immunity B cells-antibody-mediated (humoral) immunity T cells-cell-mediated (cellular) immunity Adaptive immunity occurs in a series of stages 1. Recognition of antigen (flu virus) 2. Activation of lymphocytes 3. Effector phase (immune attack) 4. Decline of antigen causes lymphocyte death (homeostatic balance) 5. Memory cells remain for later response if needed
Is Acquired Immunity the same as Humoral Immunity?
Actually acquired immunity consists of "humoral immunity" and "cell mediated immunity. Acquired immunity is the same with adaptive immunity, it is when the antibodies are produced within the bodies after the exposure of pathogen. Humoral immunity secreted antibodies while cell mediated immunity involves in production of T lymphocytes.
Are vaccines associated with innate or adaptive immunity?
Adaptive immunity. Innate immunity provides a very basic general response against pathogens. It responds in the same manner. Adaptive immunity will provide a very specific response as well as retain memory of how to respond next time it encounters the same pathogen. That is the foundation for vaccinations. You introduce to your body in a safe way (destroyed virus) a pathogen that your body can kill so that upon secondary exposure it is well equipped to defend against it.
What type of immunity resulting from giving a vaccine?
ADAPTIVE immunity. Your body sees the pathogen, so it can be ready if it ever encounters it again.
