Question

put the steps into the correct order to trace an allergic reaction to peanuts in an anaphylactic patient. 1 if untreated, shock and death occur 2 antigen combines with the ige antibody and attaches to basophils and mast cells 3 cells release massive amounts of histamine and prostaglandins, triggering an inflammatory response 4 ige immunoglobulin is released 5 exposure to allergen (i.e., protein on the surface of a peanut) 6 severe bronchial constriction, mucous production and breathing difficulty cause a drop in blood pressure

Explanation:

The allergic - reaction process starts with allergen exposure. Then the body releases IgE. IgE combines with the antigen and attaches to certain cells. These cells release histamine and prostaglandins causing an inflammatory response. This leads to bronchial constriction and other symptoms, and if untreated, can result in shock and death.
