Immunity the body’s defense system.
Immunity refers to the body’s ability to prevent the invasion of pathogens. Pathogens are foreign disease-causing substances, such as bacteria and viruses, and people are exposed to them every day. Antigens are attached to the surface of pathogens and stimulate an immune response in the body. An immune response is the body’s defense system to fight against antigens and protect the body.
For example, army solders who protect the country from the enemy so this how the immunity works to keep us healthy.
Different types of Immunity
There are several types of immunity, including innate immunity, passive immunity, and acquired/active immunity. active immunity as a process of exposing the body to an antigen to produce an adaptive immune response, while passive immunity “borrows” antibodies from another person.
- Innate immunity is general protection that a person is born with, including physical barriers For example, the skin acts as a barrier to block germs from entering the body. And the immune system recognizes when certain invaders are foreign and could be dangerous
- Passive immunity is the body’s capacity to resist pathogens by “borrowing” antibodies. For example, antibodies can be transferred to a baby from a mother’s breast milk, milk give a baby temporary immune to diseases the mother has been exposed to.
- Acquired (adaptive) immune is a type of immune that develops from immunological memory. The body is exposed to a specific antigen (which is attached to a pathogen) and develops antibodies to that specific antigen.
