From WikiLectures
Basophil granulocytes (basophils) are type of white blood cells, a subgroup of granulocytes (together with eosinophils and neutrophils). They represent less than 1% of circulating white blood cells. They have two lobed nucleus and dark purple granules in cytoplasm. The granules store a large ammount of heparin and histamine. Basophilic granulocytes appear in the forming of alergic reaction and also play role in fighting parasitic infections.
