← Nature & AnimalsWhich mechanism limits Pit Viper venom delivery efficiency?
A)Hyaluronidase disrupts tissue matrix integrity
B)Venom-induced platelet aggregation clogs capillaries✓
C)Mast cell activation triggers vasodilation
D)Bradykinin release induces localized swelling
💡 Explanation
Venom-induced platelet aggregation causes capillary clogging, limiting envenomation efficiency because microthrombi block venom spread via circulatory transport; therefore, local concentration increases rather than systemic delivery, reducing effectiveness without sufficient volume.
