Histamine is involved in the inflammatory response and has a central role as a mediator of itching. As part of an immune response to foreign pathogens, histamine is produced by basophils and by mast cells found in nearby connective tissues.

Answer:

Histamine increases the vasodilatation, and also increases the vascular permeability in the immediate transient phase of the acute inflammatory reaction. This histamine also acts as a chemical mediator in acute inflammation. The receptors of histamine is also involved in acute inflammatory reaction .

What is a pacu fish's predators/dangers
Zepler [3.9K]

he Piranha is one of the most efficient predators on the face of the earth. Granted it is not a large animal, with most only reaching about 5 1/2 to 10 inches (14 – 26 cm), but it is known world wide for its ferocious nature. They have razor sharp teeth and are opportunistic carnivores.

A frenzied attack by a group of Piranha will set the water churning. They will attack and eat all sorts of aquatic animals, insects, lizards and amphibians. They will also devour rodents, carrion (dead meat), and sickly or weakened land animals that venture into the water.

The teeth of the Piranha are triangular in shape with an exact fit in their jaw, comparable to a bear-trap. They are designed to puncture and slice the flesh from their prey. They can strip their prey to the bone in a matter of minutes.

These fish are a great source of fascination. Their natural behaviors have become fodder for the scripts of moviemakers looking for a sensational twist to excite and entice an audience. What could be more intriguing than creating a 'fear factor' from the behaviors of these provocative fish found in the "wild". Yet just like the Great White Shark and the Anaconda constrictor, also popular subjects of thriller movies, the Piranha’s behaviors are over-fantasized.

The Piranha does engage in a feeding frenzy that will "make the water boil" if only because a hungry school of fish are trying to reach the same limited food source. All that activity is bound to create water turbulence. A Piranha school generally only consists of about 20 or so fish, but in a feeding frenzy it can reach up to several hundred..

Piranhas are not always that deadly. Many species live solitary lives once they reach maturity and only four or five species pose any significant danger. Piranhas rarely attack people. Many experts believe they are actually timid fish, and shoal for protection. Even the most aggressive are thought to be not really dangerous until they are trapped and confined, and then attack in self defense. As a pet they are fascinating and beautiful fish, yet you can't hold or pet them. They are not affectionate and owners must be extremely careful, especially when handling them. They do have sharp teeth and an aggressive/defensive nature. Most Piranha bites are sustained when the fish are being handled, though that's not to say a hungry fish is never dangerous.

Camel humps are an adaptation for _______.. a.. storing water. b.. regulating body heat. c.. carrying riders. d.. all of the abo
Fofino [41]

The correct answer is:

b regulating body heat.

Explanation:

Camels have humps on their backs as rooms to store fat. It is this fact that they live off when food and liquid are scarce. A well-fed camel in good shape has a firm, upright hump. After a long, exhausting wilderness journey the corresponding camel will have a hump that does floppy and bent over to one side.e. Concentrating body fat in their humps reduces heat-trapping.

adell [148]

Yes, it is possible.

In this case both of the parental plants were heterozygotes and they manifested dominant allele in their phenotype, which is round seed.

P: Aa x Aa

F5: AA, Aa, aA, aa - possible genotypes in fifth generations.

A- dominant allele (round seeds); a- recessive allele (wrinkled seeds)

Wrinkled phenotype is manifested only if there are two recessive alleles present.
