Suggested Answer:A🗳️
Due to the chemical release from the immune system bronchioles constrict and blood vessels to dilate dropping the blood pressure. Capillaries become permeable and leak a little causing hives to form on the skin. Distributive shock is difficult to recognize in the field, heart rate remains relatively low, skin is flushed due to the dilatation of the blood vessels.
I'm not sure, I asked ChatGPT and it says leak:
Anaphylactic shock is a type of distributive shock, which occurs when the blood vessels dilate and become abnormally permeable, causing:
Vasodilation (widening of blood vessels)
Increased capillary permeability → vessels leak fluid into surrounding tissues
This leads to hypotension (low blood pressure) and swelling (e.g., angioedema)
Option Analysis:
A. Militate Most Voted – ❌ Nonsense phrase, not relevant medically
B. Constrict – ❌ Opposite of what happens in anaphylactic shock (vessels dilate, not constrict)
C. Leak – ✅ Correct — Vessels become leaky, contributing to fluid loss from circulation
D. Semipermible – ❌ Misspelled and irrelevant in this context
Summary:
In anaphylactic shock, the blood vessels leak due to increased permeability.
