Immunity
The ability of an organism to resist a particular infection or toxin by the action of the components of its immune system
The functioning of immunity in an organism depends on the successful or unsuccessful functioning of the cells, blood tissue, organs and molecules in the immune system
What are the factors that make an individual vulnerable to infection?
The particular person hasn't taken precautionary measure
The person doesn't have a proper balanced diet
The person had a poor medical history, as other diseases have weakened the immune system
Man-Functional Organ
Lesser No. of Immune Cells
Unhealthy Addiction
Alcohol
Smoking/Vaping
Genetic Mutation
Innate (in born)
Acquired (from surrounding)
The baby is born with natural immunity, and it is carried on till death through some of the parts in the immune system
Immunity, that had been developed in your body, through your lifetime
The anti-body is supplied by the mother
However, the immunity should still be increased in order to provide passive immunity as people/things in the surrounding are already affect, and eventually are at risk of affecting the baby
Skin
Active (own anti-bodies)
It is developed, after the entry of a pathogen
The pathogen, is a disease causing organ, that enters the body naturally (natural active) or artificially (vaccination or forcefully given)
Passive (ready-made antibodies)
The immunity, that is passed on by Mother (maternal anti-bodies)
The immunity, provided by another type of source in your surrounding (artificial)
How does a vaccine work?
Why do we take a booster dose?
The immunity, is transferred from one individual to another
The booster shot, is usually taken to remind the immune system, about the particular disease that has to be fought by the body, and the disease for which we need the anti-bodies.
Blood Transfusion (HIV Antigen)
Antigen
The foreign protein, which can enter our body.
The anti-bodies, are made by our body cells
The anti-bodies are used to kill the antigens
The vaccine, enters the human body, recognized by the immune system as a dangerous antigen (it isn't)
The vaccine somewhat tricks the immune system into responding accordingly by prompting it to create anti-bodies for the particular disease if the vaccine enters
