Acquired immunity is the type of immunity that exists when a person is exposed to an antigen and subsequently makes antibodies against the antigen.

Immunity is the defense mechanism of the nervous system to avoid pathogens affecting the body and making it sick. There are two major types of immunity: innate and acquired. Innate immunity is the kind of immunity present in the human body by birth. Whereas, acquired immunity is gained over time.

Acquired immunity specifically promotes the antibodies or lymphocytes to inhibit the action of pathogens when it encounters one. It is further categorized into two types: active and passive immunity.

Active immunity indulges in the primary response to a pathogen. It produces antibodies to fight against it and preserves some to fight against the same pathogen encountered for the second time. Passive immunity, in addition, involves the medications prescribed to enhance immunity.

To know more about acquired immunity, refer to the following link:

Jill stepped on a tack. Which part of the central nervous system caused her foot to move off the tack quickly in a reflex respon
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: Spinal cord.

Explanation:

The spinal cord of the central nervous system helps to move off quickly as a part of the reflex response. Jill stepped on a tack and suddenly he realizes that he should quickly move his legs out of the tack.

The pain is not stimulated until the signals reaches from the receptor to the brain. The formation of the reflex arc ensures that the amount of potential tissue damaged is less.

It forces the body to move quickly from the place that is causing damage.Example: Moving the leg up involuntarily when stepped on pin.

This occurs because the sensory neurons connects to the motor neurons within the spinal cord.This leads to the contraction of bones and muscles.

Hence, the correct option is spinal cord.
