    In anaphylactic shock, a substance is released which causes dilation of the blood vessels and capillary leaking. What is this substance called?

    A)  Adrenaline      

    B)  Benadryl

    C)  Albumin         

    D)  Histamine

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     When a specific allergen is injected directly into the circulation, the allergen can react with basophils and mast cells. A widespread ollergic reaction occurs throughout the vascular system and closely associated tissue, the condition called anaphylasis. Histamin is released into the circulation and causes body-wide vasodilation as well as increased permeability of the capillaries with resultant marked loss of plasma from the circulation.
