How does the immune system respond to a pathogen that the person has vaccinated against?
When a vaccinated person encounters a pathogen they've been vaccinated against, their immune system recognizes it as a familiar threat due to the memory cells developed during vaccination. This triggers a rapid and targeted immune response, leading to the destruction of the pathogen before it can cause serious illness. This process helps the person stay healthy and recover faster.
How does memory cell keep a person from getting sick?
Memory cells are a type of immune cell that "remember" an encounter with a specific pathogen. When the same pathogen is encountered again, memory cells mount a faster and more robust immune response, helping to quickly eliminate the pathogen before it can cause a full-blown illness. This quicker and more effective response is what helps prevent a person from getting sick upon subsequent encounters with the same pathogen.
In what two ways can a person become immune to an infectious disease?
A person can become immune to an infectious disease through vaccination, which triggers the body's immune response to produce antibodies against the pathogen. Additionally, a person can also develop natural immunity by recovering from an infection, where the immune system creates memory cells that can recognize and fight the pathogen if re-exposed.
After a person recovers from an infection why are they usually immune if they are exposed to the pathogen again?
After recovering from an infection, a person's immune system retains memory cells that have been specifically trained to recognize the pathogen. These memory B and T cells can quickly respond to future exposures by producing antibodies and activating immune responses, often preventing reinfection or significantly reducing the severity of illness. This adaptive immune response provides a form of immunity known as "adaptive immunity," which can last for months to years, depending on the pathogen.
How many times will a person get the actual disease if vaccinated?
Ideally a person would never contract a disease that he/she has been vaccinated against. The foundation of vaccination is the idea that you expose a person's immune system to the pathogen that causes a disease so that the immune system will recognize it and kill it off quickly if the person is ever exposed again. In reality, some vaccinations just don't work - there are always a few people that don't respond to the vaccine, or that respond weakly and don't have enough memory cells to fight off the pathogen.
What is the name of the process when a person is immunised against a disease by injecting them with an inactive form of a pathogen?
The process is called vaccination. It involves injecting a person with a harmless form of a pathogen, such as a dead or weakened virus or bacteria, to stimulate the immune system to produce an immune response without causing the disease.

What is a true pathogen?
A true pathogen is a microorganism that can cause disease in healthy individuals with normal immune systems. Examples include certain types of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that are capable of causing illness without the need for any predisposing conditions.
What type of immunity may be gained by coming down with a disease?
Acquired immunity: When a person gets sick from a disease, their body produces antibodies to fight off the infection. After recovery, the body retains memory cells that recognize the specific pathogen if it reappears, providing immunity against future infections.
What is the advantages and disadvantages of active and passive immunity?
Active Immunity -The body reacts by producing antibodies to fight the pathogen. The antibody levels in the blood will rise and the boy will also retain a memory of of how to make these antibodies if it comes across the pathogen again. This process provides long-term protection from many diseases.Passive Immunity -Advantage: gives immediate protection against the pathogen.Disadvantage : Immunity is short lived and if the person encounters the disease again at a later date, the body has no memory of developing antibodies itself. This type of vaccination is only used in a few cases to give quick protection when it is thought the person may already have the disease.
What is the difference between plasma cells and memory cells of B-lymphocyte?
Both are B-cells but plasma cells are the B-cells which acted on the pathogen the first time they invade the body while the memory cells are the B-lymphocytes that act on the antigen(pathogen) the second time it invades and when ever it invades the body again.Memory cells are much faster than plasma cells though plasma cells act very quickly on the pathogen once detected. but until it gets detected it needs time.Memory cells will work as soon as the pathogen enters the body before the person could even feel the symptoms.
What is an pathogen to measles?
Technically a 'pathogen' IS measels. A pathogen is a fancy name for Bacteria. And a pathogen is a bacteria that IS a certin disease. Hencforth, the answer to your question would be measles IS its own pathogen.
