The mast cell is one of the few outposts of the body to which, as yet, no definite function has been attributed. These cells, with their numerous coarse basophilic metachromatic granules, are classified into two groups, firstly, the blood mast cells, or mast leucocytes, or basophils, and secondly, the tissue or histogenous mast cells. Modern authorities agree that the only common feature possessed by these two groups, aside from their name, is the basic metachromatic staining reaction of their granules.
