Q. Which type of white blood cells are concerned with the release of histamine and the natural anti-coagulant heparin?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

Basophil is a type of white blood cell (leucocyte) that has a lobed nucleus surrounded by granular cytoplasm. Basophils are produced continually by stem cells in the red bone marrow & move about in an amoeboid fashion. Like, mast cells, they produce histamine and heparin as part of the body’s defences at the site of an infection or injury.
