____ – The ability of the body to fight of disease/infection/foreign substances

Immunity

____


foreign proteins from an invading organism

Antigens

_____


Immunoglobulin molecules that have antigen-specific amino acid sequences

Antibodies

_____

Two (2) ways to obtain immunity




Can be 2


Active immunization

Each can be artificial or natural

____ – the body is clinically exposed to relatively harmless for of an antigen that does not cause an infection.

Artificial Active

_____ – involves administration of serum or concentrated immunoglobulins – which provide the ability of the body to fight off invading microorganisms

_____ – the body acquires immunity by surviving the disease itself and produces ATBs.

Natural Active

____ – when ATBs are transferred from mother to baby via breast milk, or bloodstream via placenta.
