What is biochemical mediator?
A chemical mediator is histamine, leukotrienes, and cytokines that limit the amount of exduate (or stuff your body doesn't want) causing the muscle to swell after injury.
During an allergic reaction what chemical is released?
histamine
Does histamine result in an edematous and painful condition?
It sure can, if too much histamine is released.
What is the chemicals released when the body goes through an allergic response?
There are a number of chemicals, I assume you are interested in the main one, which is Histamine. Histamine triggers the inflammatory response and increases the permeability (the ability to pass through the wall) of the capillaries to white blood cells to fight foreign bodies (the allergen) in the body. When you get hay fever you go to the chemist to get an anti-histamine so as to stop the body's normal response to the allergen like running nose or watery eyes.
What is a vascular effect of histamine released from mast cells?
vasodialation
Histamine is released by what?
They are released by basophils and mast cells in nearby connective tissue.
What process is triggered when the chemicals are released from damaged cells after an injury?
There are many, many substances released when tissues are injured, but one of the interesting ones would be prostaglandins. Some other substances of interest that are released would be histamine, antibodies, clotting factors, and a host of others.
What releases histamine promotes inflammation?
Histamine is released by basophils and mast cells in near by connective tissue which is an immune response to foreign pathogens.
The chemical released by white blood cells and causes redness and swelling?
The chemical released by white blood cells that causes redness and swelling is called histamine. Histamine is a key player in the inflammatory response and is responsible for dilating blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the affected area, leading to redness and swelling.
Histamine is released by the body in response to?
histamine can be released into the body as a result of a bite or an allergy. You may see signs of histamine being released in the body as a result of a bite. you will see the area become red and inflamed (erythema and oedema). If you have a bite or a sting and you are severly allergic to it (ie, a bee sting) you may suffer from an anaphalactic shock. in this instance the person should be immediatly treated with adrenalin.
Is singulair an antihistamine?
No, Singulair (montelukast) is not an antihistamine. It is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used primarily to manage asthma and alleviate symptoms of allergic rhinitis by blocking the action of leukotrienes, which are chemicals in the body that contribute to inflammation and allergic responses. Antihistamines, on the other hand, work by blocking histamine receptors to reduce allergy symptoms.
What are leukotrienes?
they are amino acid base chemicals made by allergy or immune mediator cells. Leukotrienes are believed to be the causative chemicals in delayed hypersensitivity and are also known as slow reacting substances of anaphylaxis.
