Several cell types are known to undergo degranulation:
1. Mast Cells: Found in connective tissues, especially under epithelial surfaces, they play a crucial role in allergic reactions and immunity. 2. Basophils: Circulating in the blood, they share many functions with mast cells and are involved in inflammatory responses. 3. Neutrophils: These are the first responders to infection and are essential for phagocytosis and the destruction of pathogens. 4. Eosinophils: Primarily involved in combating parasitic infections and modulating allergic inflammatory responses.
