Eosinophils produce enzymes which reduce inflammatory response and are associated with parasitic infections, while ______ are responsible for triggering an allergic reaction.
Eosinophils produce enzymes which reduce inflammatory response and are associated with parasitic infections, while ______ are responsible for triggering an allergic reaction.
The correct option is A Basophils
Eosinophils have a bi-lobed nucleus. They are granulocytes and the granules have hydrolytic enzymes and peroxidases. They are important in eliciting allergic responses like in asthma and also parasitic infections. Basophils on the other hand accumulate wherever allergic reactions take place, including allergic asthma. Basophils are responsible for trigerring allergic reactions. Asthma and allergic diseases occur when the immune system improperly responds to harmless environmental substances such as pollen or mold. Common allergic reactions include eczema, hives, hay fever, asthma, food allergies, and reactions to the venom of stinging insects such as wasps and bee.
