Different physiological structures, cells, and chemical barriers in the human body are critical in monitoring and maintaining health by defending against pathogens.
Match each biological component (1 to 4) with its correct protective function (A to D).
Biological Components:
Protective Functions:
Active artificial immunity can be achieved through vaccination. In contrast, passive natural immunity can be acquired by a newborn baby. Complete the sentence comparing these modes of immunity below.
"Passive immunity is acquired when a newborn receives maternal (i) ‾\underline{\quad\quad\quad} across the placenta, which provides immediate protection but does not result in the long-term production of (ii) ‾\underline{\quad\quad\quad} cells."
