When mast cells degranulate, the release histamines
Mast cells degranulate to release 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.
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.
bleeding occurs and mast cells trigger an inflammatory response
Yes, mast cells are found in areolar tissues.
Mast cells degranulate to release histamine.
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.
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.
They were first described in 1879 by Paul Ehrlich. One year earlier he had discovered mast cells which are morphologically similar.

bleeding occurs and mast cells trigger an inflammatory response
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.

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

Histamine release from mast cells when stimulated by substance P's release from nerve terminals.
Yes, mast cells are found in areolar tissues.
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.
