Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the concept of immunity in the human body, which is the ability to resist infections and diseases.
Identify the three main types of immunity: innate immunity, adaptive immunity, and passive immunity.
Innate immunity is the body's first line of defense, providing a general response to pathogens and is present from birth.
Adaptive immunity, also known as acquired immunity, develops as a response to exposure to specific pathogens and involves the activation of lymphocytes.
Passive immunity is acquired through the transfer of antibodies from another source, such as maternal antibodies passed to a newborn. Cellular immunity is not a type of immunity; it is a component of adaptive immunity, involving T cells that target infected cells.
