Our immune systems are designed to keep track of the various infections that can be caused by pathogens once they encounter them. This helps to increase our immunity as this information helps the bodies immune system to fortify itself against further attacks by the same pathogen. If immunity is increased by means other than acquiring the disease, then it is known as passive immunity. e.g. Vaccination( in this weak pathogens are injected in the body and this helps the body's immune system to remember and then identify it to fortify the body for any future attacks by that pathogen)
Passive immunity occurs naturally. An example of passive immunity occur when antibodies are transferred to the fetus from the placenta during pregnancy.
passive immunity
A baby being born immune to chickenpox because the mother is immune is passive immunity. The immunity to chickenpox having been passed to baby from mother in the womb.
The Passive and Active Immunity's, why? Because they are immunity's that your body produces in response to a specific pathogen that has infected or is infecting your body.
Passive immunity involves the bodies defenses which do not change for different types of microbes. This would be like Natural Killer B cells which attack a wide variety of microbes. Active immunity involves your body becoming acclimated toward a bacteria or virus, such that future contact will spur on a triggered response. An example of this would be the production of antibodies.

Natural Passive Immunity
Passive immunity occurs naturally. An example of passive immunity occur when antibodies are transferred to the fetus from the placenta during pregnancy.
Passive immunity can be given naturaly or artificially.Natural Passive Immunity can be acquired from the maternal colustrum and maternal placenta.While artificial passive immunity is given parenteraly examples are: anti tetanus serum and antivenin.
Passive immunity because the antibodies pass from mother to fetus.
passive
active immunity is the immunity that is stimulated internally as a a result of antibodies entering the body. Passive is stimulated by substances from an external source
antitoxin
The three types of immunity is innate immunity, adaptive immunity, and passive immunity.
Passive immunity happens when the antibody is already given to you. For example, the antibody that can be passed from mother to child. That is a natural passive immunity. The vaccine given to you when had rabies is also an example of passive immunity because again, what is given to you is already an antibody.
Passive immunity is different from active immunity because it means that you can get it from another person and you can give it someone else. Active immunity is when you get it by yourself, not from another person, and you cannot pass it to another person.
