passive immunity
Transfer of performed antibodies against a specific antigen from protected or immunized individual to
an unprotected or non-immunized individual
Examples of passive immunity
IgA in breast milk, maternal IgG crossing placenta, antitoxin, serotherapy (direct injection of
antibodies)

Pathophysiology
the study of abnormalities in physiologic functioning of living beings
Pathology
the study and diagnosis of disease through examination of organs, tissues, cells, and bodily fluids
Etiology
The study of the causes and origins of disease
4 topics of pathophysiology
etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, treatment
pathogenesis
development or evolution of a disease
clinical manifestation
signs and symptoms or evidence of disease
exacerbation
a relatively sudden increase in the severity of a disease or any of its signs and symptom
remission
decline in severity of symptoms
