Q

Histamine

A

Regulate activity of WBC during allergic inflammation, cause:

  2. Increase gastric acid (H2 receptor)

Q

Antihistamines

A

MOA: prevent mast cell activation

H1 blocker: block action of histamine at receptor site. treat allergies, and allergic rhinitis, inflammation (itchy, dermatitis, bronchitis): diphenhydramine

H2 blocker: don’t cross BBB, so less sedating. Reduce gastric acid. Not for allergy. (treat peptic ulcer, acid reflux, gastritis): tidine (rantidine, cimetidine)

Q

Consequences of damaged muscle membrane

A
  1. Decrease Na
  2. Vasoconstriction
  3. Higher K
  4. Lower Ca & CL
    5 higher phosphate
  5. Metabolic acidosis: damaged muscle cell leak lactic acid & other acids
  6. Increase uric acid: purine released, purine then become uric acid—> damage kidney
