Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The condition described is anaphylaxis, which is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to an allergen. This can result in a rapid, massive release of inflammatory chemical mediators, leading to cardiovascular shock and death. Chemotaxis refers to the movement of immune cells towards a site of inflammation, activation of Hageman factor is a part of the clotting cascade, and phagocytosis is the process by which immune cells engulf and digest foreign particles. These processes are not directly related to anaphylaxis.
