Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anaphylactic shock is characterized by a massive release of histamine, leading to vasodilation and hypotension. Cardiogenic shock is caused by heart failure, hypovolemic shock is caused by a decrease in blood volume, and septic shock is caused by a severe infection leading to systemic inflammation. None of these types of shock are associated with histamine release.
