Question

A child gets colostrum and polio drop both as an infant .Compare their mode of action with respect to our immune system?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Have you ever thought about how immunity works? If so, you might have realized that immunity keeps us from becoming sick in different ways. Two types of immunity exist — active and passive:

Active immunity occurs when our own immune system is responsible for protecting us from a pathogen.

Passive immunity occurs when we are protected from a pathogen by immunity gained from someone else.

Both of these different types of immunity can be acquired in different ways.

A third category, community immunity, does not involve physical components of the immune system for protection, but is still worth discussion in this capacity.

Answer 2

Colostrum is the first milk from mother to child while feeding and this colostrum is highly rich in antibody content coz it carries the antibody from mothers body to the infant body as the newly born baby doesn’t have the ability to produce antibody against the foreign body this antibody from mothers body temporarily helps baby to be safe from antigens in surrounding. While polio drops are the vaccine in which inactivated viruses are present and while we take a polio drop our body reacts to the inactivated form of virus and develop memory for future interaction. Both of this are Artificial acquired form of immunity but the polio is the Artificial acquired ACTIVE immunity where infants body is involved in producing immunity where as the colostrum is the artificial acquired PASSIVE mode of immmunity where body of infant was not involved in producing immunity on contrary it was receiving ready made antibodies from mothers body ..!
