Assertion (A): Mast cells secrete serotonin.
Reason (R): Vasodilators cause inflammation in response to infection.
Assertion (A): Mast cells secrete serotonin.
Reason (R): Vasodilators cause inflammation in response to infection.
Reason (R): Vasodilators cause inflammation in response to infection.
Show Hint
Mast cells release various substances like serotonin and histamine, but vasodilation occurs due to other mechanisms such as the action of prostaglandins and bradykinin.

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Mast cells do indeed secrete serotonin, which is involved in inflammatory responses. However, the reason that vasodilators cause inflammation is not directly linked to the secretion of serotonin by mast cells, thus the reason does not fully explain the assertion.
