There is innate immunity (that you are born with) and acquired immunity. Acquired immunity you get when you are vaccinated or you get the disease and fight it off. The best example is that of what we call common colds. There are about 100 different viruses that cause them. This is one reason that babies and young children seem to be always be coming down with one or getting over one.

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.
What two types of immunities?
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.
What are two kinds of immunity?
active acquired immunity and passive acquired immunity
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
How is active immunity similar to passive immunity?
Both active and passive immunity provide protection against specific pathogens. Active immunity is developed by the body after exposure to a pathogen or through vaccination, while passive immunity is acquired through the transfer of pre-formed antibodies from another source. Both types of immunity are specific to the pathogen encountered or targeted by the antibodies.
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 kind of immunity do you receive from vaccines?
Innate immunity (also called nonspecific or natural immunity) refers to the inborn ability of the body to resist and is genetically transmitted from one generation to the next. This immunity offers resistance to any microorganism or foreign material encountered by the host. It includes general mechanisms inherited as part of the innate structure and function of each vertebrate and acts as the first line of defense. Innate immunity lacks immunological memory, i.e., it occurs to the same extent each time a microorganism or foreign material is encountered.
What are 2 types of immunity?
The two types of immunity are innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity is the body's first line of defense and includes physical barriers like skin, as well as immune cells that respond to general threats. Adaptive immunity is more specific and involves the production of antibodies and immune memory to target particular pathogens.
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.
What type of blood cell is responsible for immunity?
White blood cells, specifically lymphocytes, are responsible for immunity. They play a key role in recognizing and defending the body against foreign invaders like viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens.
What are two ways in which active immunity can be acquired?
Active immunity can be acquired through natural exposure to an infectious agent, which triggers the body's immune response to produce antibodies. It can also be acquired through vaccination, where the immune system is exposed to a weakened or inactivated form of the pathogen, leading to the production of antibodies without causing illness.
What causes passive immunity?
The immunity is having sufficient biological defenses to avoid unwanted biological invasion. There are two types of immunities, the adaptive immunity and the innate immunity. At the same time, the adaptive immunity subdivides into natural and artificial immunity. There are two types of natural immunity, which are passive immunity (primary and secondary) and active immunity. Passive immunity is the one that the fetus receives during the pregnancy of his mother (primary immunity) and which is then reinforced during lactation (secondary immunity). It is a form of rapid protection of short duration, in which the filtered blood, that passes through the umbilical cord to the fetus, transports antibodies and defenses of the mother. It is therefore important that the mother eats well, rests and stays healthy. But the human body is so perfect that even if the mother is ill, it will take all of the nutrients and defenses to the baby so that it can develop normally. After the baby is born, it's extremely important that the mother supplement the first breastfeeding (colostrum) because it has a high concentration of immunoglobulin.
