What else can I help you with?
What passes from mother to fetus?
Antibodies.
What is the transferof antibodies from mother to fetus an example of?
Passive or temporary immunisation.
What prevents the majority infections from spreading from mother to fetus?
Antibodies in the maternal blood prevent most infections from being transmitted to the fetus.
What type of immunity results when antibodies are passed from mother to fetus?
natural immunity
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.
With a Rh plus mother and a Rh- fetus will either develop antibodies against Rh antigens?
no when Rh negative blood from the fetus interacts with Rh+ blood of the mother there will be no antibodies produced due to absence of antigen on the Rh- blood cells and when Rh positive is mixed with Rh negative blood of fetus no response is produced due to the fact that the fetus has an underdeveloped immune system
What prevents most toxoplasmosis from being passed from mother to fetus?
Very few infected people have symptoms and most pregnant women have antibodies that protect the fetus from infection.
When is cellular respiration?
cellular respiration is preformed when the cells need to obtain energy from glucose.
What is natural passive?
Naturally-acquired passive immunity occurs when a fetus receives antibodies from its mother through the placenta. It also occurs when a baby receives antibodies through breastmilk.
zzany pregnant women carry a fetus with a blood type different from their own, and the mother can form antibodies against fetal RBCs?
I do not see what this statement is asking. There have been instances where a pregnant woman has developed antibodies against the fetus with a different blood type than her own.
What is a source of passive immunity?
A source of passive immunity is when antibodies are transferred from one individual to another. This can occur naturally through breastfeeding or transplacentally from mother to fetus, or artificially through administration of pre-formed antibodies, such as in immune globulin injections.
The condition in which rh plus red blood cells of a fetus are attacked by anti-Rh antibodies of the fetus Rh-mother is called?
Heamolytic disease of the newborn or Erythroblastosis Fetalis
