PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -During allergic reactions, basophils release two enzymes, histamine and heparin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Basophils are not phagocytic; rather, when stimulated, the cells eject the chemicals contained in their granules.

Detailed explanation-3: -A normal basophil count is . 5% to 1% of your white blood cell count. This equals about zero to 300 basophils per microliter of blood in healthy adults. Basophil counts that fall outside this range may be a sign you have basophilia.

Detailed explanation-4: -Basophils are responsible for the body’s immune response during allergic reactions. When the body is exposed to an allergen, basophils release histamine which triggers the physical symptoms of an allergic reaction.
