Adaptive Immunity is the type of immunity that creates memory cells. This is a specific type of immunity that reacts to the "non-self" antigen of pathogens. In the initial or first introduction to the pathogen, Immunoglobulin M (IgM) predominates the circulation. But in thesubsequentintroduction of the same pathogen where in memory cells were already formed from the previous event, Immunoglobulin G (IgG) now predominates. These antibodies either neutralize pathogens directly, or signals the complement system and/or the Natural Killer cells to eliminate the pathogen.
Since memory cells are already formed, the body is better equipped in dealing with the same pathogen the second time around.
This is the same concept in vaccinations, wherein we introduce into the body the same pathogen but in a weakened form removing it's virulence.

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 is the medical term meaning related to the mental activities associated with thinking learning and memory?
Cognitive is the medical term meaning related to mental activities associated with thinking, learning, and memory.
What role do memory cells play in immunity?
no
What is the medical term meaning unable to recall past experiences?
Amnesia is the medical term for memory loss.
What immunity results when millions of memory b cells remain in the body?
Memory b cells provide long term immunity for a specific disease or antigen. As an example a vaccination for hepatitis A provides memory b cells that will attack the disease when it is present and remove it.
With passive immunity your body builds memory?
No. Good luck with the rest of your homework.
What is natural active immunity?
Active immunity involves the production of antibodies (by B lymphocytes) and cell-mediated response (with T lymphocytes). It renders relatively longer immunity (compared to passive immunity). Active immunity may be natural or artificial.This type of active immunity is said to be natural because the immunity is induced not by deliberate exposure (such as vaccination). The individual has developed immunity to a live pathogen by having been exposed to it and by developing a primary immune response that led to immunological memory.
Passive immunity does not last as long as active immunity?
Active Immunity is subdivided into two.First, the Natural Active Immunity which last a lifetime because our memory T-cells recognized the pathogen in our first exposure thus it was able to make anti-bodies againts it.Second,the Artificial Active Immunity which is commonly introduced to us by meas of vaccine.Examples of these are BCG,DPT,Hepatitis Vaccine,Tetanus Toxoid and OPV,these vaccine may contain LAM(Live Attenuated Microorganism) or dead microorganism that are being introduced to our body artificially that leads to activation of memory T-cells to also form anti-bodies, on the other hand it does not protect us for a lifetime.Serum Levels must be obtained and a booster shot is suggested in Hepatitis Vaccine after four years from the last dose recieved.
What do vaccines produce?
Immunity via the production of long lived memory lymphocyte cells in the immune system.
