Yes, histamine causes vasodilation. It is a chemical released by the immune system during allergic reactions and inflammation. Histamine binds to specific receptors on blood vessel walls, leading to the relaxation of smooth muscle and subsequent widening of the blood vessels. This process increases blood flow to the affected area, contributing to the symptoms of inflammation.
No it causes them to dilate (vasodilation)
Histamine release from mast cells when stimulated by substance P's release from nerve terminals.
Basophils and mast cells are white blood cells that release histamine and promote inflammation. Histamine is an important mediator of the inflammatory response, causing vasodilation and increased vascular permeability to allow immune cells to reach the site of infection or injury.
No, sympathetic activity typically causes vasoconstriction, not vasodilation.
Stress is far more likely to cause vasorestriction
chemicals released by the injured tissue cells and leukocytes cause the VASODILATION of the arterioles in the injured area and cause the local hyperemia to form accounting for the redness and heat.
Histamine itself does not directly cause eczema, but it can play a role in the condition's symptoms. Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is primarily associated with an overactive immune response and skin barrier dysfunction. When the skin is inflamed, histamine is released, which can lead to itching and redness. Therefore, while histamine is involved in the inflammatory response, it is not the root cause of eczema.

A gaseous hormone that can bind to hemoglobin and be released to cause local vasodilation is nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is also known as nitrogen oxide.
Histamine is the non-hormonal chemical messenger secreted by mast cells that contributes to the inflammatory response. It causes vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and smooth muscle contraction, leading to symptoms like redness, swelling, and itching.
Sympathetic stimulation causes vasoconstriction of most arterioles in the body, except for arterioles in skeletal muscle and the heart where it causes vasodilation.
