A student made the following statements about the four types of immunity: active natural, active artificial, passive natural, and passive artificial. However, some statements are incorrect.
Complete the table below to outline the correct differences between these types of immunity. For each type, state:
- how the immunity is acquired (natural infection, vaccination, maternal antibodies, injection of antibodies)
- whether the body produces its own antibodies or receives them ready-made
- whether immunological memory is formed (yes/no)
- one example of each type.
| Type of immunity | How acquired | Own antibodies produced? | Immunological memory? | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Active natural | ||||
| Active artificial | ||||
| Passive natural | ||||
