The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the alarm chemicals that trigger inflammation at the site of an insect bite. 2. **Identifying Alarm Chemicals**: The primary alarm chemicals involved in inflammation are histamine and bradykinin. 3. **Role of Histamine**: - Histamine is released by mast cells at the site of injury. - It acts as a vasodilator, meaning it causes blood vessels to widen. - This vasodilation increases blood flow to the area, leading to redness and swelling (edema). 4. **Role of Bradykinin**: - Bradykinin is another potent molecule released during the inflammatory response. - It enhances the effects of histamine and contributes to the overall inflammatory process. 5. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: Histamine and dopamine - Dopamine is a neurotransmitter and not involved in inflammation. - **Option 2**: Histamine and bradykinin - Both are involved in the inflammatory response. - **Option 3**: Interferons and oxoins - Interferons are related to viral infections, and oxoins are not involved in inflammation. - **Option 4**: Interferons and histones - Interferons are related to viral infections, and histones are involved in DNA packaging. 6. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Option 2: Histamine and Bradykinin**, as both are alarm chemicals that trigger inflammation.
