Which of the following is true about the release of histamine from cells in the nasal passages?

-It occurs during an allergic reaction. -It causes nearby capillaries to swell -It may cause increased secretion by mucous membranes.

Mucous membranes

-are moist epithelial layers that are impermeable to most pathogens. -line the nasal passages, mouth, lungs, digestive tract, urethra, and vagina. -contain glands that secrete mucus, a sticky fluid that traps pathogens

When a puncture wound becomes infected,

-damaged cells release chemicals that promote the immune response. -the temperature around the wound increases. -white blood cells move into the injured area.

When the inflammatory response is triggered,

-damaged or infected cells release chemical alarm signals. -more fluid than normal leaks from capillaries near the injury, and swelling results. -white blood cells attack invading pathogens.
