Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Natural active immunity is immunity that is acquired after being exposed to a live pathogen and developing a immune response to it. Getting the measles and subsequently being immune to getting the disease again is an example of natural active immunity.

Answer: G
 B cells are a type of white blood cell that are responsible for producing antibodies in response to a specific antigen.

Answer: C
 An antigen is any substance that can trigger an immune response, such as a virus or a bacteria.

Answer: D
 Artificial active immunity is immunity that is acquired through vaccination or exposure to a modified pathogen, rather than through natural exposure to the disease. Getting a vaccine to prevent measles is an example of artificial active immunity.

Answer: J
 Antibodies are proteins that are produced by B cells and that can specifically recognize and bind to antigens, helping to target them for destruction by the immune system.

Answer: E
 Macrophages are a type of white blood cell that can engulf and destroy foreign particles and other cells that are recognized as a threat to the body.

Answer: B
 T cells are a type of white blood cell that play a key role in coordinating the immune response, including activating and regulating other immune cells.

Answer: H
 Complement is a group of proteins that are involved in the immune response, including helping to destroy pathogens by disrupting their cell membranes.

Answer: F
 Natural passive immunity is immunity that is acquired through the transfer of pre-formed antibodies from one individual to another, such as through breast milk or placental transfer from a mother to her fetus.
