Mast cells secrete histamine and heparin.
Histamine and heparin
Histamine is found in the granules of mast cells where it is bound with an acidic protein and heparin(positively charged) while histamine itself is negatively charged.
histamines and heparin are release by what cell
Basophils release histamine (vasodilator) and heparin (anticoagulant) during inflammatory or allergic reactions.
Basophil granulocytes
Mast Cells
Histamine is released by basophils and mast cells in near by connective tissue which is an immune response to foreign pathogens.
Heparin is released by mast cells. These cells are found in connective tissue and contain numerous basophilic granules. In addition to heparin, they also release histamine in response to injury or inflammation.
Both Heparin and Histamine are released by basophils and mast cells. These cells are very similar, but mast cells are found on mucous membranes (connective tissue) and basophils are white blood cells that travel in the blood in the circulatory system.
The Basophil is the leukocyte that releases histamine and other mediators of inflammation; contain heparin, an anticoagulant.
