Question

What are the bodies' defense mechanisms?

What types of cells are in the immune function? What jobs do they do?
Passive vs. Active Immunity?

Answer 1

Answer: what are the bodies defense mechanisms? physical and chemical barriers, non-specific innate responses, and specific adaptive responses. What types of cells are in the immune function? lymphocytes (T cells, B cells, and NK cells), neutrophils, and monocytes/ macrophages.

Jobs they do, the immune function- The main job of the innate immune system is to fight harmful substances and germs that enter the body.

Job they do, the bodies defense mechanisms- to fight disease-causing germs (pathogens) like bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi, and to remove them from the body.

Active Immunity? Active immunity occurs when our own immune system is responsible for protecting us from a pathogen.

Passive Immunity? Passive immunity occurs when we are protected from a pathogen by immunity gained from someone else.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Two types of immunity exist active and passive:

Active immunity occurs when our own immune system is responsible for protecting us from a pathogen.

Passive immunity occurs when we are protected from a pathogen by immunity gained from someone else.

Both of these different types of immunity can be acquired in different ways.

A third category, community immunity, does not involve physical components of the immune system for protection, but is still worth discussion in this capacity.
