Once you have been exposed to an antigen, you develop immunity against the same antigen because

Because an antibody is "made" relative to the antigen, but kept at low levels when you are exposed the first time ("primary immune response"). The second time you're exposed to the same antigen, memory cells recognize it and the body produces a high level of antibodies, and the level of antibodies usually remains higher for a longer time ("secondary immune response"). This is your basic immune response (primary and secondary).

This explains exactly why vaccines are effective to extremely effective.

White meat contains less syoglobin than red meat. Red meat contains more ( slow-twitch / fast-twitch) muscles than white meat do

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Slow-twitch

Explanation:

Red meat is rich in slow-twitch muscle fibers. The slow-twitch muscle fibers are rich in myoglobin and blood capillaries. They also have many large mitochondria to generate ATP by aerobic respiration.

These fibers are slow-twitch fibers as the ATPase in myosin head carries out the hydrolysis of ATP at a slower rate causing a slower contraction cycle.

Slow-twitch fibers appear red due to a large amount of myoglobin and a rich network of blood vessels. They are capable of prolonged contractions and are fatigue resistant.
