- Person is injected with a weak or harmless sample of the pathogen / disease^
- Body fights off the disease as usual**
- Lymphocytes split, forming memory cells
- Upon re-infection*, the body produces antibodies much quicker, sooner and in greater quantity^
- Body develops 'immunity'^
(the ones that have a ^ beside it, see below for exam tips.)
Exam tips :) :)
1. I reccommend using the word "pathogen"
2. THESE ARE KEY WORDS - VERY VERY IMPORTANT TO MENTION! (the bold bit in step 4)
3. I'm not sure it's a great idea to say your body is immune because sometimes the disease does come back, or something very similar.
Extra words just for show ;)
** (step 2) this is the primary immune response.
* (step 4) this is the secondary immune response.
Figure 1 : Tee hee, hope you're okay with needles! :P |
