Mast Cells
Mast cells are a type of white blood cell that carry out a variety of essential roles in the body, including defense against infection. They are present in all tissues of the body, including the skin, respiratory, and gastrointestinal tracts. Mast cells release a range of chemicals, including histamine, which can cause inflammation, swelling, and redness. Mast cells are also important for regulating the immune response and helping to protect against allergens, parasites, and bacteria. As such, they play a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis and health.
