Is a mast cell a lymphocyte or a phagocyte?
A mast cell is not a lymphocyte or a phagocyte. It is a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response, particularly in allergies and anaphylaxis, by releasing histamine and other inflammatory mediators.
What role do mast cells play in the immune response?
Mast cells are important in the immune response as they release histamine and other inflammatory mediators in response to allergens and pathogens. This triggers inflammation and helps recruit other immune cells to the site of infection. Overactive mast cell activity can lead to allergic reactions and asthma.
What are alternatives to mast cell stabilizers?
I'm not sure which is the most commonly prescribed, but two mast cell stabilizers I know of are cromolyn and nedocromil.
Do mast cells release histamine as a result of the allergen-antibody reaction?
Yes, mast cells release histamine in response to the allergen-antibody reaction. When an allergen binds to specific antibodies on the surface of mast cells, it triggers the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators, leading to allergy symptoms.
What cell term rhymes with blast?

What are the possible reasons for a bad smell associated with a mast cell tumor?
A bad smell associated with a mast cell tumor may be due to infection or necrosis (tissue death) within the tumor.
What occurs when mast cells and basophil cells degranulate?
When mast cells and basophils degranulate, they release inflammatory mediators such as histamine, cytokines, and leukotrienes. This process plays a key role in triggering allergic reactions and promoting inflammation in response to allergens or pathogens. Symptoms may include itching, swelling, redness, and increased blood flow to the affected area.
