Active immunity occurs when the immune system is exposed to a pathogen and responds by producing specific antibodies against it. This can happen naturally, through infection, or artificially, through vaccination. In both cases, the body "remembers" the pathogen, allowing for a quicker and more effective response if re-exposed in the future. This process helps provide long-term protection against diseases.
