Answers (1)
Statement B is correct. Basophils secrete histamine, serotonin, and heparin. These substances are involved in inflammatory and immune responses.
Statement C is correct. Basophils are involved in the inflammatory response. They release histamine and other chemicals that cause blood vessels to dilate and increase blood flow to the site of inflammation.
For incorrect options,
Statement A is incorrect. Basophils are not the most abundant cells of the total white blood cells (WBCs). Neutrophils are the most abundant WBCs.
Statement D is incorrect. Basophils have a lobed or segmented nucleus, not a kidney-shaped nucleus.
Therefore, the correct statements are B and C.
