Which outcome occurs when complement C5a over-activates endothelial cells?

💡 Explanation

Increased capillary dilation follows because complement anaphylatoxins like C5a trigger increased vascular permeability. Therefore capillaries temporarily become leaky, rather than targetting infected apoptotic cells, because T or B cells have different functional mechanisms.
