Question 7

Answer 8

severity of inflammatory response
2 types
local reaction: wheel, flare
Generalized reaction: anaphylaxis= facial/ body swelling, wheezing, hives, low bp Ex. bee stings and food allergies.

Question 9

plant and phytochemicals immediate hypersensitivity reaction

Answer 9

ragweed pollen most common in USA, many other trees. grass pollen cause allergies.

Question 10

mechanism of action for immediate hypersensitivity reaction

Answer 10

macrophages present antigen to B cells, this produces IgE antibodies. the antibodies attach to mast cells after first exposure. mast cells release histamine upon second exposure. then inflammatory response reaction.

• protein on wall of pollen released when binds to stigma, also when binds to your respiratory mucosa
• when patient comes in contact with allergen, mast cells release histamine (steps) blood vessels “leak” thus, runny nose, watery eyes, wheel and erythematous flare.
