Question

which leucocytes release heparin and histamine in blood? a) neutrophil b) basophil c) eosinophil d) monocytes

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Basophils

Basophils are a type of white blood cell. Basophils are the least common of the granulocytes, representing about 0.5 to 1% of circulating white blood cells. However, they are the largest type of granulocyte. They are responsible for inflammatory reactions during an immune response, as well as in the formation of acute and chronic allergic diseases, including anaphylaxis, asthma, atopic dermatitis, and hay fever. They produce histamine and serotonin that induce inflammation and heparin that prevents blood clotting.

So, the correct answer is 'Basophils'.
