Q

What is the mechanism for Type 1 hypersensitivity reactions?

A
  1. IgE on mast cell binds antigen (requires 2 antibodies)

2. Degranulation of mast cell releases vasoactive molecules, enzymes, cytokines, chemotactic molecules

Q

Mast cells degranulation in the Respiratory Tract causes

A

mucus secretion, bronchoconstriction leadign to difficulty breathing

29
Q

Mast cells degranulation in the Blood Vessels causes

A

increased vascular permeability that leads to the movement of fluids, proteins, and cells out of blood vessels into inflamed tissue

Q

What chemicals block beta adrenoreceptors?

A

propranolol

33
Q

What processes inhibit mast cell degranulation?

A

Blocking alpha adrenoreceptors and stimulation of beta adrenoreceptors

34
Q

what chemicals stimulate beta adrenoreceptors?

A

Isoproterenol, epinephrine, salbutamol
