Lesson on Biology Immunity Production

Immunity that occurs when a person's own immune system produces antibodies in response to the presence of a pathogen like with a vaccination.

Immunity in which antibodies are given to a person rather than produced within the person's own body like with a baby and mother.

A poison produced by bacteria that damages cells:

The process by which harmless antigens are introduced into a person's body to produce active immunity is called:

The body's ability to destroy pathogens before they can cause disease is called:

A molecule that the immune system recognizes either as part of the body or as coming from outside the body:

A lymphocyte that identifies pathogens and distinguishes one from another:

White blood cells that distinguishes between each kind of pathogen is called:

Part of the body's defense against pathogens in which cells of the immune system react to each kind of pathogen with a defense targeted specifically at that pathogen is called:

A white blood cell that destroys pathogens by engulfing them and breaking them down is called:

Any organism that causes disease like a virus or bacteria is called:

Any organism that causes disease like a virus or bacteria is called:
