a. Leukotrienes c. Histamine
b. Beta s s 1 s s receptors d. Prostaglandins

Beta-1 s s receptors s s would s s not s s cause s s a s s bronchospasm s s or s s bronchoconstriction.
s s Leukotrienes s s are ssone s s of s s many s s chemical s s mediators s s released s s by s s the s s mast s s cells.
