∙ 13y agoNatural immunity is the non-specific immunity that a person has. Basically, the body recognizes something as "not self" and it attacks it, no matter what it is. Acquired immunity is when you are exposed to a specific illness and the body attacks it and forms specific antibodies for that particular illness. Those antibodies are only called out, when the body is exposed to that illness again.

Distinguish between natural immunity and artificial immunity?
Natural immunity occurs through contact with a disease. There are two types of natural immunity. Actively acquired and passively acquired. Actively acquired - When the body has already experience an infection by that pathogen Passively acquired - Antibodies pass across placenta providing a newborn baby with immunity against disease. Antibodies are also present in breatsmilk. Artificial immunity develops through delibereate action such as vaccine. There are two types: Actively acquired and passively acquired Actively acquired - This is by vaccination at a suitable time in the person's life, not when they are infected. eg TB vaccine Passively acquired - The vaccine contains ready-made antibodies which provide immediate relief by destroying the antigens. This is given when the person has been infected with the antigen and has no preivous immunity eg tetanus
What is meant by the term active immunity?
Active immunity is of two kinds: Natural active immunity: This is acquired when a pathogen enters the body and immune response occurs. This is stored by the memory cells and eliminates the pathogen for the second time as soon as it enters the body. Acquired active immunity: This artificial and it is induced through a artificial source like vaccines.
How are natural acquired immunity and artificial acquired immunity alike?
Natural acquired immunity is when your body already knows how to defend against certain antigens and germs. Artificial acquired immunity is provided in shots to the body when we are babys. These shots contain inactive or a weakened antigen or germ in order to allow are body to produce an anti-body to defend against them if we were to get infected in the future. This makes them alike because the way of defending against the antigens are the same. The only difference is that in artificial immunity are bodys are introduced to a foreign antibody in order for our body to "learn" to defend against it.
