What is the difference between acquired immunity and innate immunity?
You are born with innate immunity which consists of natural barriers to infection. Acquired is developed after birth when you come into contact with antigens
What are two types of immunizations?
The two types of immunity are natural immunity and acquired immunity. Natural immunity is the ability for the body to fight and prevent illness on its own, acquired immunity needs the help of vaccinations or exposure.

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.
Is the mothers breastfeeding milk an active acquired immunity b passive natural immunity C passive acquired immunity D active natural immunity?
The mother's breast milk provides passive natural immunity to the baby. This means that the baby receives antibodies from the mother through the breast milk, offering temporary immunity protection until the baby's immune system is more developed.
What are the two components of specific immunity?
Humoral Immunity- acquired immunity in which the role of circulating antibodies is predominant. Natural Immunity- the resistance of the normal animal to infection

Natural or acquired resistance provided by the immune system to a specific disease?
immunity
Is a mother breastfeeding her baby an example of active natural immunity?

Distinguish between natural immunity and artificial immunity?
Natural immunity occurs through contact with a disease. There are two types of natural immunity. Actively acquired and passively acquired. Actively acquired - When the body has already experience an infection by that pathogen Passively acquired - Antibodies pass across placenta providing a newborn baby with immunity against disease. Antibodies are also present in breatsmilk. Artificial immunity develops through delibereate action such as vaccine. There are two types: Actively acquired and passively acquired Actively acquired - This is by vaccination at a suitable time in the person's life, not when they are infected. eg TB vaccine Passively acquired - The vaccine contains ready-made antibodies which provide immediate relief by destroying the antigens. This is given when the person has been infected with the antigen and has no preivous immunity eg tetanus
What is meant by the term active immunity?
Active immunity is of two kinds: Natural active immunity: This is acquired when a pathogen enters the body and immune response occurs. This is stored by the memory cells and eliminates the pathogen for the second time as soon as it enters the body. Acquired active immunity: This artificial and it is induced through a artificial source like vaccines.
How are natural acquired immunity and artificial acquired immunity alike?
Natural acquired immunity is when your body already knows how to defend against certain antigens and germs. Artificial acquired immunity is provided in shots to the body when we are babys. These shots contain inactive or a weakened antigen or germ in order to allow are body to produce an anti-body to defend against them if we were to get infected in the future. This makes them alike because the way of defending against the antigens are the same. The only difference is that in artificial immunity are bodys are introduced to a foreign antibody in order for our body to "learn" to defend against it.
