Heparin is produced by

A) Liver Cell

B) Plasma Cell

C) Blood Cell

D) Both A and C

1. Liver Cells: Liver cells, also known as hepatocytes, are located in the liver. These cells secrete bile, a fluid that aids in digestion.
2. Plasma Cells: Plasma cells are derived from a type of white blood cell called B cells, which are produced in the bone marrow. Their primary function is to provide immunity by producing antibodies.
3. Blood Cells: Blood cells are categorized into three types:

Erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells): These cells contain hemoglobin, which gives blood its red color and helps transport oxygen to cells and remove carbon dioxide from them.

Leukocytes (White Blood Cells): White blood cells play a vital role in the body's defense against infections.

Thrombocytes (Platelets): Platelets are responsible for blood clotting, preventing excessive bleeding.

Production of Heparin:

Heparin can be naturally produced in the body or synthesized in laboratories.

In the body, it is produced by liver cells, lung cells, and certain blood cells (mast cells and basophils).

Heparin can also be obtained from the mucosal tissues of animals such as pigs and cattle.

Conclusion: Since heparin is produced by both liver cells and blood cells, Option C (Both A and C) is the correct answer.
