Answer:

Basophils

Explanation:

Basophils are the granular leukocytes that make 0-1% of the total white blood cells. Basophils are 10–12 μm in diameter and are the spherical cells with lobed nuclei. When Wright stained, basophils appear to have large, irregularly shaped, deep-blue granules in their cytoplasm. These granules take up the basic stain and hence these cells are called basophils.

Basophils release histamine and heparin. Histamine is associated with allergic reactions. Histamine also dilates blood vessels and triggers contraction of smooth muscle. Heparin inhibits clotting and promotes blood flow. Together, histamine and heparin promote blood flow to injured tissues.

Which refers to swelling as a result of inflammation?
Bad White [126]

Answer: Edema

Explanation:

The swelling that is caused as the result of inflammation is known as Edema. Just after an injury takes place the traumatized area becomes red, painful and warm. It also starts to swell.

This swelled area is also known as Edema which is caused due to acute response of acute inflammation.

This response is trigerred by the injured tissues. When the body starts healing then, change in blood flow takes place and swelling is also cured.

But sometimes it is so acute that it restricts the normal blood flow and movement of the affected area.
