Acquired immunity is a form of immunity gained from bacteria or viruses by the body ITSLEF. Essentially the body has encountered the pathogen (bacteria/virus) and learnt by itself which anti-bodies to produce to fight it. Once the body has found which antibodies are the most effective this information is stored in "memory cells" which, if encounter the same pathogen can quickly make the correct type antibodies to fight the invading pathogen and defeat it quickly. (antibodies are produced by lymphocytes which neutralize toxins and clump bacterium together meaning the phagocytes can engulf them quicker and digest via enzymes) acquired immunity is "natural" including Innate immunity (antibodies passed through placenta/breast milk. artificial immunity includes Active (given modified bacteria which does no harm but body learns how to produce antibodies) and Passive (injected with Antibodies - requires "top-up")

Passive acquired Immunity is when the mother passes the Antibodies to the fetus through the umbilical cord.
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
Innate immunity is defense mechanisms that appear immediately or within hours of exposure to an antigen. Acquired immunity is immunity that has been introduced into the body by way of previous infection or immunizations.
Humoral Immunity- acquired immunity in which the role of circulating antibodies is predominant. Natural Immunity- the resistance of the normal animal to infection
Acquired immunity (also known as adaptive immunity) This immune reaction is quite fast due to the immune memory.
active acquired immunity and passive acquired immunity
acquired immunity
active acquired is from you having a ds and getting immunity or a vaccine and passive is from mother to child.
what is the acquired immunity that results when a person has a disease
Artificially acquired active immunity.
Actually acquired immunity consists of "humoral immunity" and "cell mediated immunity. Acquired immunity is the same with adaptive immunity, it is when the antibodies are produced within the bodies after the exposure of pathogen. Humoral immunity secreted antibodies while cell mediated immunity involves in production of T lymphocytes.
Natural Passive Immunity
Passive natural immunity
natural immunity
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.
