Question

in areolar connective tissue, ______ cells release histamine to stimulate inflammation.

gland

mesenchymal

plasma

mast

goblet

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Gland cells are involved in secretion but not histamine release for inflammation.
• Mesenchymal cells are stem - like, not for histamine release.
• Plasma cells produce antibodies, not histamine.
• Mast cells in areolar connective tissue release histamine to trigger inflammation (part of immune response and allergic reactions).
• Goblet cells secrete mucus, not histamine.

Answer:

D. mast
