TYPES OF IMMUNITY Flashcards
2 types of IMMUNITY
ACTIVE AND PASSIVE
Antibodies produced by our body
ACTIVE Immunity
Antibodies derived from other sources
PASSIVE Immunity
give the two types of ACTIVE IMMUNITY
-Natural ACTIVE IMMUNITY
-Artificial ACTIVE IMMUNITY
give the two types of PASSIIVE IMMUNITY
-Natural PASSIVE IMMUNITY
-Artificial PASSIVE IMMUNITY
This type of immunity results from active infection.
NAI
This type of immunity are antigens that stimulate antibody production
AAI
This type of immunity are antibodies that are transferred from mother to fetus through placenta or colostrum
NPI
This type of immunity are antiserum and immunoglobulins (Antitetanus, Antirabies)
API
an example of this immunity are Anti-tetanus, Anti-rabies
API
from active infection
NAI
antigen that stimulate antibody production
AAI
Antibodies that are transferred from mother to fetus
NPI
Through which organ or part of the body does the Natural passive immunity work with to transfer antibodies?
placenta and breast (colostrum)
what kind of passive immunity works with placenta and colostrum to pass antibodies
NPI or Natural Passive Immunity
This immunity can also be achieved through the use of immunoglobulins, which are purified forms of antibodies. Examples include anti-tetanus immunoglobulin and anti-rabies immunoglobulin.
API / Artificial Passive Immunity
Involves the transfer of pre-formed antibodies from outside sources without the body’s own production
Passive Immunity
There are two types of passive immunity
NPI and API
the type of immunity that occurs when our own body produces antibodies in response to an antigen
Active Immunity
There are two types of active immunity:
NAI and AAI
An immunity occurs when an individual becomes infected with a pathogen and subsequently recovers
Natural Active Immunity
During the infection, the immune system responds by producing specific antibodies to target the pathogen. Once the infection is resolved, the individual retains memory cells that can recognize and respond swiftly to the same pathogen in the future. ______ provides long-lasting protection against subsequent encounters with the same pathogen.
NAI / Natural Active Immunity
Immunity is achieved through deliberate exposure to antigens (a foreign substance that enters your body).
Artificial Active Immunity
Vaccines contain weakened or inactivated forms of pathogens or specific components of pathogens, such as proteins or polysaccharides, which stimulate the immune system to produce a protective response. When the immune system encounters these antigens, it activates _____ cells and ___ cells, leading to the production of antibodies.
B cells and T cells
When the immune system encounters these antigens, it activates B cells and T cells, leading to the production of antibodies.
