Each day, about 9 liters of fluid enters the duodenum. Most chemical digestion takes place in the duodenum by chemicals secreted by the liver, pancreas and small intestine. The other two sections of the small intestine, the jejunum and the ileum, absorb food molecules by way of the villi directly into the blood stream.
Histamine is synthesised in the brain in the hypothalamus, in a specific area known as the tuberomamillary nucleus (TMN), where it acts as a signalling messenger (or neurotransmitter). The hypothalamus is the area of the brain that overseas the metabolic processes of the body found in the central nervous system.
As previously mentioned, histamine is a chemical stored within our body. It is produced by cells known as mast cells. Histamine is a protein molecule with the chemical formula C5H9N3. It serves as an important part of our body's immune response.When we come into contact with an allergen, such as pollen or animal dander, histamine is released by the body to the site of contact.hen the histamine arrives at the site of irritation, it causes several important effects. One is the dilating, or widening, of small blood vessels in that area. This is known as an inflammatory response, or swelling. Swelling increases the flow of blood to the area.
