Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Histamines are released by mast cells and cause vasodilation and increased permeability of blood vessels, resulting in the accumulation of fluid at the site of injury or inflammation. Kinins also contribute to this process, but histamines are the main mediators of acute inflammation. Neutrophils and leukocytes are types of white blood cells involved in the immune response, while interferons are signaling proteins produced in response to viral infections.
