system react to a pathogen? The human immune response system recognizes pathogens and act to remove, immobilize, or neutralize them. The immune system relies on several components to fight an infecting pathogen. It fights off the pathogen by Leukocytes also known as white blood cells. When a pathogen enters the body the immune system becomes alert to it and sends out sends out the Phagocytes (a type of Leukocytes) which engulf the pathogens. If the body has a weak immune system, the pathogens eventually overtake the body which can result in a disease. How do the different pieces of the immune system work together? The bone marrow, the lymph nodes, the spleen, and the thymus are the organs that are part of the immune system, all of which work together to produce the different types of white blood cells which keep you alive. What is the difference between a primary and secondary immune response?
Primary: the body is
first exposed to antigen, lymphocyte is activated. Secondary: same antigen is encountered at a later time. It is faster and of greater magnitude. How do immunizations work? Immunizations work by keeping a person safe from contracting a disease later. If a person were immunized against a disease, exposure to the disease would immediately set up an immune response, thus protecting the person from actually getting the disease. What is the difference between active and passive immunity in regard to immunization? Active immunity is a form of immunity that develops after a primary immune response, which is a response to exposure to a live pathogen and development of symptoms. The cells produce the antibodies themselves. Passive immunity is a form of immunity in which a person's cells do not produce the antibodies; they receive them by an injection of antibodies or antitoxin.

What are the risk and
benefits of immunizations? The Benefits: Vaccines are one of the greatest public health achievements of all time. There are many, many good reasons to vaccinate your children. Vaccines save lives, save time and money, and can protect those who cant protect themselves. The Risks: No medical intervention (vaccination included) is 100% risk free, and there are side effects that occur, but vary by vaccine and age of the patient. In your opinion, should children be immunized? I think children should be immunized because it protects them from disease. But I do have some reservations about some of the newer immunizations only because there is not enough information on them. So I fear for safety of my childs health.
