True or false Vaccination triggers an immune response against the pathogen by simulating an infection?
True
What describes the signs and symptoms that develop in response to a pathogen?
infection
What do you get if you wanted to boost your immune response to a specific pathogen?
You'd most likely want to expose yourself to a "dead" version of that pathogen via vaccination.
What is he invasion of the body by a disease producing organism?
A disease producing organism is a pathogen. An invasion of the body by a pathogen is an infection. Although an infection is a generalized name for the body's response to any invasion by any pathogen.
Is vaccination a type of immunization?
Hey there! Let's first familiarise ourselves with the definitions of these 2 words. Vaccination is the process of injecting an agent, like a weakened virus, to train the immune system to respond when the real infection is happening in the person. This way is safer than letting the person face an actual infection which will most likely lead to death. Immunisation is when the immune system's response becomes strong after being exposed to a pathogen (non-self) and eventually, the immune response becomes stronger and quicker during the next same infection. Back to your question- Vaccination is defintely a type of immunisation, and obviously much safer. I hope this response was helpful! 😄
What is inflamitory response?
The inflammatory response is the body's response to infection. After a pathogen enters the body and creates an infection, leukocytes rush to cite to kill off the bacteria. Inflammation results because of the puss that the body secretes to combat the bacteria. After the intruder is eliminated the body tries to heal the passage through which the pathogen entered, by closing it off and healing the skin.
Why is it adaptive for memory cells to remain in the immune system after an invasion by pathogens?
As a result of memory cells, on exposure to a second infection by the pathogen the response will be quicker and stronger.
Why does a vaccination provide long-lasting protection against a disease while gamma globulin provides only short-term protection?
With vaccination your body mounts an immune response to the pathogen. You learn what the pathogen looks like and make antibodies (gamma globulin) against it. You then get memory cells which can last a very long time and will let your body respond and fight off the pathogen the next time you are exposed. Gamma globulin is just an antibody that will circulate in your blood and and fight off the pathogens it was made against. You will not mount an immune response, and you will not get memory cells for long lasting protection.
Can a pathogen provoke a cell mediated response and an antibody mediated response?
no
Explain the principles of Immunization against communicable diseases?
a weaker/dead form of the pathogen is introduced to allow the body to produce the correct antibodies and make a memory-B cell that stimulates a faster immune response if the same pathogen is encountered a second time, preventing a full scale infection and making you "immune" to that pathogen
The process by which the body remembers previous infections and produces antibodies more quickly if that infection is seen again?
Memory B cells are formed following primary infection and are important in antibody-mediated immune response in the case of re-infection. The response is very rapid. This is also known as a secondary immune response.
Small piece of a pathogen that generates an immune response?
antigen
