Which substance which is an anticoagulant is released in response to injury?
Heparin

Eggs
A blood clot inhibiting substance released by basophils?
Heparin
What produces histamine and heparin?
Histamine and heparin are produced by mast cells, which are a type of immune cell found in connective tissues throughout the body. When activated, these cells release histamine, a compound involved in allergic responses and inflammation, and heparin, an anticoagulant that helps prevent blood clotting. Both substances play crucial roles in the body's immune response and vascular regulation.
What releases heparin?
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.
What do histamine and heparin do in the body when they are released?
Histamine and heparin play crucial roles in the body's immune response. Histamine is released by mast cells and basophils during allergic reactions and inflammation, leading to increased blood vessel permeability and promoting the flow of immune cells to affected tissues. Heparin, on the other hand, is an anticoagulant that prevents blood clotting by inhibiting thrombin and other factors in the coagulation cascade, thereby promoting blood flow and reducing the risk of thrombosis at sites of injury or inflammation. Together, they help regulate immune responses and maintain vascular health.
Which hormones is not secreted by the basophils?
Basophils primarily release histamine and other pro-inflammatory molecules in response to allergens. They do not secrete hormones like the endocrine glands, such as the pituitary gland, which releases hormones like growth hormone or thyroid-stimulating hormone.
Histamines and heparin released of what?
Basophils
What are Histamines and heparin are released by?
basophils
What are the indications for Ancrod?
Ancrod is viper Venom. It is used to dissolve blood clots in vein's. It was used on myself when I had an allergic reaction to Heparin in 1995, which caused massive clots on the right side of my body. At the time it had not been approved by the FDA.
Which white blood cell type has granules that stain dark purple in response to alkaline dye?
Basophils are the white blood cell type that has granules that stain dark purple in response to an alkaline dye. These granules contain substances such as histamine and heparin, which play a role in inflammatory reactions and allergic responses.
