No they decrease.
the answer is false, because basophils are a type of white blood cell
Basophils release histamine (vasodilator) and heparin (anticoagulant) during inflammatory or allergic reactions.
An allergic reaction is triggered by later encounters with the same allergen, which promptly binds and cross-links the IgE antibodies on the surface of the mast cells and basophils. This event includes an enzymatic cascade that causes the mast cells and basophils to degranulate, releasing a flood of histamine and other inflammatory chemicals that together induce the inflammatory response typical of allergy. page 798 anatomy and phisiology eighth edition
an allergic reaction
Allergic reactions depend on a person's immune response and biological reactions. This means that all chemicals has the potential to trigger at least one person's allergic reaction.
hypersensitivity
Inflammation
No, an allergic reaction is typically caused by a release of histamines from the eosinophils. Antibodies are produced by lymphocytes in response to a bacterial infection.
An allergic response is an immune over reaction to a harmless allergen such as pollen which will adversely affect the host, when the allergen is pollen this causes hayfever.
basophils
Most likely there will be some type of inflammation present. Typically an allergy or infection. They release histamine and have anticoagulant heparin to help contribute to the inflammation process and promote blood flow to the affected area. (Basophils are white blood cells involved in the body's immune system)
The potentially fatal allergic reaction is called anaphylaxisAnaphylaxis
