Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the concept of immunity in the human body. Immunity refers to the body's ability to resist or eliminate potentially harmful foreign materials or abnormal cells.
Identify the types of immunity mentioned in the problem: Passive immunity, Innate immunity, and Adaptive immunity. These are all recognized types of immunity.
Passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies from another source, such as maternal antibodies transferred to a baby through breast milk.
Innate immunity is the body's first line of defense, providing immediate but non-specific protection against pathogens.
Adaptive immunity is a specific response to pathogens, involving the activation of lymphocytes and the production of antibodies. Metabolic immunity is not a recognized type of immunity, as metabolism refers to biochemical processes within the body, not immune responses.
