Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Microbes of different diseases are always present in our surrounding environment and we are also prone to coming in contact with persons suffering from infectious diseases directly or indirectly. But because of strong immune system and presence of antibodies against specific diseases we do not necessarily develop that disease. Immune systemu of our body fights back the pathogens entering the body and most often successfully removes them. In this way our body remains protected from diseases. Antibodies that fight pathogens may develop in natural way or may be produced inside body through vaccination.
