specific immunity
Type your answer here... the active immunity antibodies is created by what?
Passive Immunity is when the body receives antibodies from another organism.
natural immunity
Active immunity, specifically artificial active immunity, results from the injection of tetanus toxoid. This means that the body produces its own antibodies against the tetanus toxoid.
Active immunity occurs when the immune system is exposed to a pathogen and produces its own antibodies in response, often following vaccination or natural infection. This type of immunity is long-lasting, as memory cells are created to recognize the pathogen in future encounters. In contrast, passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies from another source, such as through maternal antibodies in breast milk or antibody treatments; it provides immediate but temporary protection since the recipient's immune system does not produce its own antibodies.

Part of humoral
Active immunity occurs when an individual is exposed to the disease causing organism, and the immune system produces antibodies to counteract the disease. Future exposure to the same pathogens will stimulate a rapid response from the immune system to produce antibodies. Passive immunity occurs when an individual receives antibodies instead of inducing the immune system to produce antibodies.
Humoral immunity primarily produces antibodies, which are proteins secreted by B cells in response to antigens. These antibodies circulate in the bloodstream and bind to specific pathogens, neutralizing them or marking them for destruction by other immune cells. Additionally, humoral immunity also involves the production of memory B cells, which provide long-term immunity by remembering past infections.
Passive immunity because the antibodies pass from mother to fetus.
The type of immunity that involves the natural transfer of ready-made antibodies is called passive immunity. This occurs when antibodies are transferred from one individual to another, such as from mother to infant through breast milk or the placenta. Unlike active immunity, which develops through exposure to pathogens or vaccination, passive immunity provides immediate but temporary protection.
