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 type of white blood cells are primarily responsible for adaptive immunity?
The white blood cells primarily responsible for adaptive immunity are lymphocytes, specifically B cells and T cells. B cells are responsible for producing antibodies that target specific pathogens, while T cells are involved in directly killing infected cells and coordinating the immune response. Together, they provide a tailored and long-lasting defense against specific antigens.
What gland plays a major role in the development of immunity?
The thymus gland plays a major role in the development of immunity. It is responsible for the maturation of T cells, which are a type of white blood cell that plays a critical role in the immune response.
Compare and contrast active and passive immunity and give a rea life example?
Active immunity is when a person in a trial says they do not want to testify because their truthfulness might incriminate them. Passive immunity is when an order might be handed down by an elected official that says a certain group of people will not be responsible for upholding a certain law. Amnesty laws are a type of passive immunity.
Where do antibodies come from in the active immunity process?
You need to be more specific. Do you mean the Naturally acquired active immunity process or the Artificially acquired active immunity process? Both are of the Adaptive Immunity process. There are also passive processes for each.
Two blood cells chiefly responsible for the acquired immune response?
Lymphocytes
What type of blood cell is responsible for immunity?
Specific immunity is also known as adaptive immunity or acquired immunity active or passive. There are two types of specific immune responses; humoral and cell mediated. Humoral immunity is mediated by B Lymphocytes that produce antibodies; forms of B lymphocytes are IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE. They primarily attach bacterial invaders Cellular immunity is mediated by T Lymphocytes and combat intracellular infections (such as viruses), monitor cellular disruptions like tumors or foreign tissues, and fight fungal infections.
Do white blood cells initiate clotting process?
No, platelets and factors in the plasma are responsible for clotting. White blood cells mediate immunity.
What is pooled serum human globulin and what type of immunity might this confer?
Pooled human serum globulin is antibodies (or antitoxins) found in our blood. When administered to a patient after exposure to Hepatitis A it is a type of Artificially acquired passive immunity.

What are the blood cell?
White blood cells ( WBC), Red blood cells( RBC), and finally platelets. White blood cells are the cells that are responsible for the immunity of the cells, while red blood cells contain the oxygen containing pigment heamoglobin, and platelets are fragments of cells that are responsible for clotting.
What are The cells directly responsible for cellular immunity?
White blood cells, more specifically B-lymphocytes.
What is the lymphatic system responsible for?
The lymphatic system picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to the blood; disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream; and houses white blood cells involved in immunity.
What cells responsible for immunity?
Immune cells responsible for immunity include white blood cells such as T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, and phagocytes like macrophages and neutrophils. These cells work together to detect and eliminate pathogens, infected cells, and other foreign substances to protect the body from infections and diseases.
What type of white blood cells are primarily responsible for adaptive immunity?
The white blood cells primarily responsible for adaptive immunity are lymphocytes, specifically B cells and T cells. B cells are responsible for producing antibodies that target specific pathogens, while T cells are involved in directly killing infected cells and coordinating the immune response. Together, they provide a tailored and long-lasting defense against specific antigens.
What is blood titer?
blood titre is found by doing a blood test for immunity. the titre shows the level of immunity against something (i.e. Rubella)
What gland plays a major role in the development of immunity?
The thymus gland plays a major role in the development of immunity. It is responsible for the maturation of T cells, which are a type of white blood cell that plays a critical role in the immune response.
