Which of the following statements are correct? A. Basophils are the most abundant cells of the total WBCs. B. Basophils secrete histamine, serotonin, and heparin. C. Basophils are involved in inflammatory response. D. Basophils have a kidney-shaped nucleus. E. Basophils are agranulocytes. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
D and E only
C and E only
B and C only
A and B only
To solve this problem, we need to analyze each statement about basophils:A. Basophils are the most abundant cells of the total WBCs. - This statement is incorrect. Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cells, not basophils. Basophils are the least abundant.B. Basophils secrete histamine, serotonin, and heparin. - This statement is correct. Basophils release histamine, serotonin, and heparin, which are involved in inflammatory responses.C. Basophils are involved in inflammatory response. - This statement is correct. Basophils play a role in the inflammatory response by releasing histamine and other mediators.D. Basophils have a kidney-shaped nucleus. - This statement is incorrect. Basophils have a lobed nucleus, not a kidney-shaped one. Monocytes have a kidney-shaped nucleus.E. Basophils are agranulocytes. - This statement is incorrect. Basophils are granulocytes, as they contain granules in their cytoplasm.Based on the analysis, the correct statements are:B and C only.Therefore, the correct option is Option 3: B and C only.
