Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The inflammation response is triggered by
A
Histamines
B
Anti-histamines
C
Cytokines
D
Interferon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Inflammatory mediators are molecules produced by activated cells that intensify and prolong the inflammatory response. Histamine is a potent inflammatory mediator, commonly associated with allergic reactions, promoting vascular and tissue changes and possessing high chemoattractant activity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Histamine is released from cells in response to an antibody called immunoglobulin E (IgE). This antibody may be secreted in response to an invading pathogen such as a virus, bacteria, or an allergenic substance such as pollen. Histamine can also be released in response to injury caused by toxins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Histamine affects the maturation of immune system cells and alters their activation, polarization, chemotaxis, and effector functions. Histamine also regulates antigen-specific TH1 and TH2 cells, as well as related antibody isotype responses.

Detailed explanation-4: -The message is, “Release histamines, ‘’ which are stored in the mast cells. When they leave the mast cells, histamines boost blood flow in the area of your body the allergen affected. This causes inflammation, which lets other chemicals from your immune system step in to do repair work.
