Mast cells of connective tissue contain -
- Heparin and calcitonin
- Heparin and histamine
- Vasopressin and relaxin
- Serotonin and melanin
Answer
(2) Heparin and histamine
Solution
As per NCERT, mast cells of areolar connective tissue secrete histamine, heparin and serotonin.
⇒ Calcitonin (thyroid), vasopressin (posterior pituitary), relaxin (ovary/placenta) and melanin (pigment) are not mast-cell products.
∴ Mast cells contain heparin and histamine.
