What type of immunity produces antibodies?
specific immunity
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 type of immunity provides lifetime protection for the body against a specific pathogen?
Active immunity
What is major difference between specfic and non specfic immunity?
Specific immunity follows a non-specific response. The major difference between specific and non-specific is the ability to remember pathogenic antigens. Specific immunity results in the production of memory cells which upon reinfection are used to effectivly remove the pathogen Non-specific cannot do this
A type of immunity that defends against specific pathogens and gradually builds up resistance to it?
It is an acquired immunity
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.
What type of immune response is destructive instead of defensive?
Specific immunity
What type of immunity is a lifetime protection in the body against specific pathogens?
active imminity
What is the medical term meaning type of immunity where memory cells are formed?
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 specific type of acquired immunity that a fetus obtains from maternal antibodies that cross the placenta is called?
Passive immunity because the antibodies pass from mother to fetus.
What is the difference between the specific and nonspecific immune response?
Immunity provides protection against specific foreign antigens, displays memory, and it requires distinction between self and non self antigen.
If a person has memory b cells against a certain pathogen the person is?
Immunity is a biological term that describes a state of having sufficient biological defenses to avoid infection, disease, or other unwanted biological invasion. Immunity involves both specific and non-specific components
