Allergies Objectives
-
Outline an allergic response, including allergens, antibodies, mast cells, histamine, and blood vessels.
-

We will begin with an overview of the most common hypersensitivity disorder: allergies.
Primary exposure to an allergen primes mast cells to respond when re-exposed to the allergen.
Allergy Treatments
If it is not possible to avoid an allergen, medications may be necessary.
