The most important differences between a mast cell and a basophil are their origins, sizes, shapes of nucleus, and their locations in the body. They are both types of leukocytes (white blood cells), and granulocytes (containing granules), are responsible for similar allergic reactions, and they both are made in the bone marrow - however - they are derived from different progenitor cells - basophils are maturing in the bone marrow, and stay in the blood. - mast cells are leaving the bone marrrow in an inmature state, and are maturing in body tissues, (connective or mucosal), where the stay. - also differ in size, and the shape of their nuclei.

What occurs when mast cells and basophil cells degranulate?
When mast cells degranulate, the release histamines
What cells produce histamine in a type one hypersensitivity reaction?
Basophils Mast cells contain histamine. When they encounter a foreign body, they splay themselves and release histamines which then cause swelling and surround the foreign body so other parts of the immune system can rid the body of the foreign invader. Antihistamines offer much comfort.
What is a leukocyte that releases histamine?
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.
Which type of leukocyte contains heparin and anticoagulant?
Basophil is the type of leukocyte that contains heparin and is an anticoagulant. The type of leukocytes that become macrophages in the tissues are monocytes.
Is a mast cell a lymphocyte or a phagocyte?
mast cell is not a lymphocyte mast cell is not a professional phagocyte, but an occasional phagocyte
Who discovered basophil?
They were first described in 1879 by Paul Ehrlich. One year earlier he had discovered mast cells which are morphologically similar.

What is the difference between a schooner and a sloop?
A Sloop has only one mast a schooner has two.
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.
What cell term rhymes with blast?
The term that rhymes with blast is "mast." A mast cell is a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response.

How does the cell phone get your voice to the other cell phone?
The signal from the phone is transmitted to the nearest mast. the mast then either broadcasts it to another mast(s) and down to the other mobile or sends it down regular phone lines to the closes mast where the receiving mobile is.
