Hi, Sorry guys, another question for you.
Which cells release histamine and other chemical messengers?
Am I right to believe:
histamine is released from H1 receptors?

Receptors don't release anything! they respond to chemical messengers.

Top of the list was this:

your answer is there if you read the entry.
