Mast cells secrete-
- Histamine
- Hippurin
- Haemoglobin

Answer
(1) Histamine
Solution

Mast cells of areolar connective tissue secrete histamine, heparin and serotonin, whereas haemoglobin and myoglobin are pigments of RBCs and muscle fibres, not secretions of mast cells.
∴ Mast cells secrete histamine.
