Question
Chapter 37.2, Problem 1TC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The circumstances under which inflammatory response (fluid leak from capillaries) might be dangerous, or even life-threatening.
Introduction:
In response to heat, toxin, trauma, and injury by a pathogen, the mast cell releases the histamine and other chemicals, and it results in inflammatory response produced by the body in that particular part/organ. It all results in pain, itching, or swelling.
