Study Notes
Smooth Muscles
- Cause contraction
Capillaries
- Cause dilation
- Increased permeability to plasma
Mast Cell Destruction
- Releases histamine from the epidermis
- Causes vasodilation of blood vessels at the site of injection
Adrenaline
- Vasoconstrictor α- agonist
- Reduces capillaries permeability
Histamine and Antihistamines
- Antihistamines are pharmacological antagonists of histamine
- Antihistamines block only H1 receptors, not H2 receptors
- H1 receptors are found in blood vessels of the skin, bronchi, and intestines.
- H2 receptors are found in arterioles, capillaries, and parietal cells.
