During subsequent exposures to the same pathogen, the immune system is able to respond rapidly and activity reaches higher levels. The secondary immune responses can usually prevent disease, because the pathogen is detected, attacked and destroyed before symptoms appear.

If a pathogen is in drinking water what will it cause?

A very broad answer to a very broad question... A "pathogen" as defined by a dictionary would be, "any disease-producing agent, esp. a virus, bacterium, or other microorganism." First- a "pathogen" in drinking water will cause nothing unless someone or something drinks the water or if the "pathogen" enters the body/host by some other means... Second- even once the "pathogen" enters the body it may still cause nothing, as the quantity of the "pathogen" must be sufficient to cause the would be disease... Third- because a "pathogen" could be any one of millions of things, what disease would be caused by your hypothetical "pathogen in the drinking water" would depend entirely on what it is... You should seriously consider being more specific about your question. If you are interested in a specific pathogen and the associated disease, please try again.


How does your body respond differently the second time it is exsposed to a pathogen than the first time it was exposed to the same pathogen?

During the second exposure to a pathogen, the immune system can mount a quicker and more targeted response due to immunological memory. This is because the immune system has already encountered the pathogen before and has memory cells ready to recognize and respond more efficiently to the pathogen. This results in a faster and more effective clearance of the pathogen from the body.


What is a second or subsequent offense?

A second or subsequent offense simply is stating that the same offense has occurred before. If you got caught underage drinking before, the next ticket would be under "second or subsequent offense".


What is the second link in the chain of transmission in your body?

The second link in the chain of transmission in the body typically refers to the portal of entry for pathogens. After a pathogen is introduced through the first link (the infectious agent), it enters the body through specific routes such as respiratory passages, broken skin, or mucous membranes. This entry point allows the pathogen to establish infection and spread within the host. Understanding this link is crucial for implementing effective prevention and control measures.


Does the first exposure to a pathogen result in a much faster immune response than the second exposure to the same pathogen?

After your first exposure to a pathogen, you have memory T-cells that will remember the antigen of the pathogen so in the future if you would come in contact with the same pathogen your body would recognize it right away and be able to kill it much faster.

What is the difference between plasma cells and memory cells of B-lymphocyte?

Both are B-cells but plasma cells are the B-cells which acted on the pathogen the first time they invade the body while the memory cells are the B-lymphocytes that act on the antigen(pathogen) the second time it invades and when ever it invades the body again.Memory cells are much faster than plasma cells though plasma cells act very quickly on the pathogen once detected. but until it gets detected it needs time.Memory cells will work as soon as the pathogen enters the body before the person could even feel the symptoms.


How does your body protect itself from pathogens?

Firstly if your body gets infected with an unknown pathogen then it will build a memory so next the pathogen that infect the body will automatically eliminated and second how the body gets rid of the pathogen is by sending antibodies or whiteblood cells to kill the invaders


How does your body react the second time it is exposed to a pathogen than the second time it was exposed the first time?

The second time your body is exposed to a pathogen, it typically mounts a faster and more effective immune response compared to the first exposure. This enhanced reaction is due to the formation of memory cells during the initial infection, which recognize the pathogen and trigger a quicker production of antibodies. As a result, symptoms are often milder or may not occur at all during the second exposure, thanks to this immunological memory.


What happens second in the metabolic sequence?

The second step in the metabolic sequence depends on the pathway being considered. In general, after digestion and absorption, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which enters glycolysis as the second step in cellular respiration.
