Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytokines are signaling molecules released by immune cells, including white blood cells, in response to infection or injury. They can produce a number of effects including stimulating the vagus nerve, which can lead to a sickness response. Glucocorticoids and catecholamines are also involved in the body's response to stress and infection, but they do not directly stimulate the vagus nerve in the same way that cytokines do. Monoamines are a class of neurotransmitters and hormones that include dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, among others, but they are not the primary players in the vagus nerve's response to infection.
