Mast cells are the immune cells in tissues that play a key role in causing capillaries to dilate. They release histamine and other mediators during allergic reactions and inflammatory responses, leading to increased blood flow and permeability of blood vessels. This dilation allows immune cells to access the affected area more easily, facilitating the body’s response to injury or infection.

What causes arterioles in the damaged area to dilate during the inflammatory response?
The release of inflammatory mediators such as histamine, prostaglandins, and nitric oxide causes arterioles in the damaged area to dilate. This dilation increases blood flow to the damaged tissues, bringing in immune cells and nutrients to aid in the healing process.
Where are lymphatic capillaries located in the feet?
Lymphatic capillaries in the feet are primarily located in the dermal layer of the skin, particularly around the toes, between the skin and muscle layers, and within the connective tissues. They are found in areas where there is a high density of blood vessels and lymph nodes, facilitating the drainage of interstitial fluid and the transport of immune cells. These capillaries help in maintaining fluid balance and play a crucial role in the immune response.
What can go wrong with a bodies immune systems?
Broadly speaking, you can have an immune system that does not do enough to protect the body from infection, which is called an immune deficiency, and you can also have an overactive immune system that attacks the body's own tissues, which is called an autoimmune disease. Both of these types of problems come in a variety of forms with a variety of causes.
What is the viral theory of Sjogren's syndrome?
The viral theory suggests that the immune system is activated in response to a viral invader, but then fails to turn itself off. Some other immune malfunction then causes the overly active immune system to begin attacking the body's own tissues.
What causes immune inhibition?
overexposure to heat and uv radiations causes for the immune inhibition.
Which structure is not a component of the adaptive immune system?
tissues
Why does mosquito saliva cause itching?
Mosquito saliva contains proteins that trigger an immune response in the body, leading to the release of histamine. Histamine causes blood vessels to dilate and become leaky, resulting in swelling and itching at the bite site.
The lymphatic capillaries are?
The lymphatic capillaries are small, thin-walled vessels that collect excess tissue fluid (lymph) from the interstitial spaces and return it to the bloodstream. This helps maintain fluid balance in the body and plays a crucial role in the immune system by transporting immune cells and proteins.
What causes Goodpasture's syndrome?
The exact cause is unknown. It is an autoimmune disorder; that is, the immune system is fighting the body's own normal tissues through creating antibodies that attack the lungs and kidneys
What causes infection fever and pus with serious gum disease?
Gum disease (periodontal disease) means infection or inflammation of the tissues that surround the teeth.Cause:Poor oral hygienePoor immune systemSmoking
What keeps your body tissues healthy and protect you from illnesses?
Your immune system.
What is diapedisis?
Diapedesis is the process by which white blood cells squeeze through the walls of capillaries and enter tissue spaces to reach sites of inflammation or infection in the body. This is an essential part of the immune response to pathogens.
