Q

Define: Herd Immunity

A

(also called community based immunity)

  • is when enough people in a specific population are immunised against a disease to provide herd immunity rom those un-vaccinated in the area

Q

What are the 3 types of immune response

A
  1. It is antigen-specific — directed against particular pathogens or foreign substances.
  2. It is systemic — not restricted to the initial site of infection.
  3. It has memory — once it recognises an antigen it responds by producing antibodies to subsequent invasions by the same molecule.

Q

What are the 2 types of immunity

A
  1. Humoral immunity or antibody-mediated immunity is provided by the presence of antibodies in body fluids (humors).
  2. Cellular immunity or cell-mediated immunity is when lymphocytes attack an invader directly

Q

What are the 3 cell types involved in the immune response

A
  1. B lymphocytes produce antibodies and are responsible for humoral-mediated immunity.
  2. T lymphocytes are involved in cell-mediated immunity.
  3. Macrophages support the two sets of lymphocytes.
