What is one source of passive immunity?
A form of acquired immunity resulting from antibodies that are transmitted naturally through the placenta to a fetus or through the colostrum to an infant or artificially by injection of antiserum for treatment or prophylaxis. Passive immunity is not permanent and does not last as long as active immunity.
Is the mothers breastfeeding milk - an active acquired immunity b passive natural immunity C passive acquired immunity D active natural immunity?
D. Active natural immunity. Breastfeeding provides infants with natural antibodies from the mother's milk, which helps to protect the baby through active immunity.
How are passive immunity and active immunity are similar?
They are similar because they both protect the body and fight against pathogens.
When the body have overcome disease to protect against a disease or illness is known as?
Immunity
The resistance of an organism to disease is known as?
The medical term for disease resistance is immunity.
Explain how vaccines help in combating diseases?
Immunity to a disease is achieved through the presence of antibodies to that disease in a person's system. Antibodies are proteins produced by the body to neutralize or destroy toxins or disease-carrying organisms. Antibodies are disease-specific. For example, measles antibody will protect a person who is exposed to measles disease, but will have no effect if he or she is exposed to mumps. There are two types of immunity: active and passive. Active Immunity Active immunity results when exposure to a disease organism triggers the immune system to produce antibodies to that disease. Exposure to the disease organism can occur through infection with the actual disease (resulting in natural immunity), or introduction of a killed or weakened form of the disease organism through vaccination (vaccine-induced immunity). Either way, if an immune person comes into contact with that disease in the future, their immune system will recognize it and immediately produce the antibodies needed to fight it. Active immunity is long-lasting, and sometimes life-long.
How does immunizing individual children help to protect the community as a whole?
Vaccines prepare the body to fight off a certain illness or disease. There is a very small amount of the illness in the vaccination, causing the immune system to produce more antibodies to fight off those illnesses. Therefore, you're immune system develops an immunity to the illness or disease. So, if one person develops an immunity to a certain illness or disease, it is highly less likely for them to catch that disease. If they don't get the disease, chances are high that their parents and family won't get it either. Basically, if one child is immunized, he or she reduces the exposure to a certain disease for all around him/her. Hope this helps!
How do antibodies in breast milk contribute to the immune system development of infants?
Antibodies in breast milk help protect infants from infections by boosting their immune system. These antibodies are passed from the mother to the baby through breastfeeding, providing passive immunity until the baby's own immune system develops fully.
What would give you short-term immunity?
passive immunity is short term it could either be from a mom giving the antibodies from her blood to the baby in her womb, and when the baby gets out, it still has some of the anitbodies to protect it (for a couple days/ months/ years) or antibodies are injected into a person (this is not a vaccine) to help cure the illness (rabies is an example of a disease where people inject the antibodies)
Type of resistance that is acquired as a result of developing a disease?
Naturally acquired active immunity is the type of resistance that is acquired from developing a disease. Naturally acquired active immunity leaves the person immune from developing the disease again in the future.
What is protect in a passive voice?
The passive voice must have the verb 'to be' in the correct tense plus the past participle of the main verb. Here are some examples: I do (active)/it is done (passive) I did (active)/it was done (passive) I am doing (active)/it is being done (passive) I was doing (active)/it was being done (passive) and so on So to change protect into the passive would be I protect (active)/ It is protected (passive)
Why people made immunizations?
Your immune system helps protect against disease by identifying and killing pathogens. Immunization is a way of producing immunity to particular diseases by using a tiny amount of a destroyed or frail microorganism that causes the particular disease.
