Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mast cells are nonmotile cells in connective tissue that promote inflammation. They release histamine and other chemical mediators that cause nearby blood vessels to dilate and become leaky, allowing immune cells to enter the affected tissue. Mast cells play a role in both innate and adaptive immunity.
