Exposure to a disease-causing organism results in which type of immunity?
Natural Active Immunity
What is the epidermal cell that has a role in immunity and disease resistance?
Langerhans
What is the concept of immunity?
Immunity is generally a resistance to ailments and infections. Some people are bless with naturally good immune systems, while others are not so lucky and suffer from allergies as well as from ailments. The immune system can be fired up by taking small quantities of the threatening disease so that the body gets used to fighting it; that's the principle behind 'flu shots etc.
What are two ways in which active immunity can be acquired?
A person acquires active immunity when their own immune system produces antibodies in response to the presence of a pathogen. Active immunity can result from either getting the disease or being vaccinated.
CAN YOU GET Lyme disease twice?
Yes. Infection with Lyme disease doesn't give you lifelong immunity.
The resistance of an organism to disease is known as?
The resistance of an organism to disease is known as immunity. This defense mechanism helps protect the body from harmful pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
What is the resistance from an organism to disease is know as what?
Immunity.Depending on how an organism becomes immune to an INFECTIOUS disease, classifies the immunity into :Active/ PassiveNatural/ ArtificialActive immunity- the organism produced its own antibodies to the disease.Passive immunity- the organism was given antibodies to fight the disease (this type does not last.. so that if the organism is re-infected with the SAME disease...it is not resistant like previously)Natural immunity- the organism naturally was infected to develop active immunity or given antibodies (from mother's milk).Artificial- the organism was deliberately infected to develop active immunity or given extracted antibodies (probably produced from rat's spleen).
How can you use immunity in a sentence?
(Immunity : medical is resistance to disease, legal is unable to be prosecuted) "When you get a disease and you recover from it, you usually gain immunity to that disease." "For revealing the mob's secrets, the informer was given immunity."

Natural Active Immunity
Exposure to a disease-causing organism results in which type of immunity?
Natural Active Immunity
Type of resistance that is acquired as a result of developing a disease?
Naturally acquired active immunity is the type of resistance that is acquired from developing a disease. Naturally acquired active immunity leaves the person immune from developing the disease again in the future.
What is the epidermal cell that has a role in immunity and disease resistance?
Langerhans
Natural or acquired resistance provided by the immune system to a specific disease?
immunity
The type of resistance that develops as a result of developing a disease?
Naturally acquired active immunity
Resistance to disease or poison?
Immunity is the resistance to disease or poison. This means that the body is capable of fighting the infection without the aid of medical intervention.
What is The type of resistance that is a response to contracting an infectious disease?
naturally acquired active immunity
Explain how vaccines help in combating diseases?
Immunity to a disease is achieved through the presence of antibodies to that disease in a person's system. Antibodies are proteins produced by the body to neutralize or destroy toxins or disease-carrying organisms. Antibodies are disease-specific. For example, measles antibody will protect a person who is exposed to measles disease, but will have no effect if he or she is exposed to mumps. There are two types of immunity: active and passive. Active Immunity Active immunity results when exposure to a disease organism triggers the immune system to produce antibodies to that disease. Exposure to the disease organism can occur through infection with the actual disease (resulting in natural immunity), or introduction of a killed or weakened form of the disease organism through vaccination (vaccine-induced immunity). Either way, if an immune person comes into contact with that disease in the future, their immune system will recognize it and immediately produce the antibodies needed to fight it. Active immunity is long-lasting, and sometimes life-long.
