What is an anarisum?
blood serum containing antibodies against specific antigens; provides immunity to a disease
Are antigens and pathogens the same?
Pathogens are the disease causing agent while antigens are found in the antibodies that fight against the pathogens. So in short, no they aren't the same.
How does immunization give us specific immunity and non specific immunity?
Immunization provides specific immunity by introducing antigens from pathogens into the body, which stimulates the adaptive immune system to produce specific antibodies and memory cells tailored to those antigens. This memory allows for a rapid and robust response upon future exposure to the same pathogen. Additionally, the process can also enhance non-specific immunity by activating innate immune responses, such as the production of cytokines and the recruitment of immune cells, which provide a broader defense against various pathogens. Thus, immunization fortifies both arms of the immune system.
What is the Differentiate between Humoral mediated immune response and cellular mediated immune response?
The difference between humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity is that humoral immunity uses B cells and T cells whereas mediated immunity only uses the T cells. Also humoral immunity provides a defense against antigens and pathogens in body fluids whereas cell-mediated immunity protects from abnormal cells and pathogens inside living cells.
What is the name of a substance that stimulates the immune system to develop an acquired immunity?
A substance that stimulates the immune system to develop acquired immunity is called an "antigen." Antigens can be found in pathogens like viruses and bacteria, or in vaccines, which contain weakened or inactivated forms of these pathogens. When the immune system encounters an antigen, it triggers a response that leads to the production of antibodies, providing long-term immunity against future infections.
A type of immunity that defends against specific pathogens and gradually builds up resistance to it?
It is an acquired immunity
Humoral immunity is carried out by?
Humoral immunity is carried out by antibodies produced by B cells in response to antigens. These antibodies can neutralize pathogens, mark them for destruction by immune cells, and help to activate other components of the immune system, providing protection against infections.
What effect do pathogens have on the body?
your body produces antigens to fight against the pathogens and imune you agaist diseases.
How do they confer immunity?
Immunity is conferred primarily through two mechanisms: innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity provides immediate, non-specific defense against pathogens, utilizing barriers like skin and mucous membranes, as well as immune cells like phagocytes. Adaptive immunity, on the other hand, develops over time and involves the activation of lymphocytes (B cells and T cells) that specifically recognize and remember pathogens, leading to a targeted and lasting immune response. Vaccination can enhance this adaptive response by introducing antigens, prompting the immune system to produce memory cells without causing disease.
How are passive immunity and active immunity are similar?
They are similar because they both protect the body and fight against pathogens.
What is inherited and acquired immunity?
Inherited immunity, also known as innate immunity, is the natural defense system present at birth, providing immediate but non-specific protection against pathogens. Acquired immunity, or adaptive immunity, develops over time as the body is exposed to specific antigens, leading to a targeted immune response and the formation of memory cells for faster responses in future encounters. Together, these two types of immunity work to protect the body from infections.
What type of immunity is a lifetime protection in the body against specific pathogens?
active imminity
