Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Only polymorphonuclear leukocytes (also known as mast cells) are capable of degranulation and release of histamine, which can cause allergy symptoms and inflammation. Macrophages and dendritic cells are involved in the immune response, but do not degranulate. Erythrocytes are red blood cells and do not have any immune function.
