Basophils

These are another type of granulocytes with numerous granules that stain darkly with basic dyes. They measure 8–10 μm in diameter and make up only about 1 % of the white blood cells. Basophils migrate to injury sites and cross the capillary endothelium to accumulate in the damage tissue where they discharge their granules which contain histamine (dilate blood vessels) and heparin (prevents clotting). They enhance local inflammation at the sites of injury and other chemicals that they release attract eosinophils and other basophils in the area of injury.
