- Which cell(s) can bind to oxygen and carbon dioxide? Select one or more: a.myloid stem cells b.thrombocytes c.erythrocytes d.pluripotent stem cells e.pluripotent stem cellsarrow_forwardWhat is involved in hemopoiesis?a. Hemocytoblasts are the starting cells for the formation of all the formed elements except platelets.b. Colony-stimulating factors are made by macrophages.c. Red blood cells are the only formed elements produced in the red bone marrow.d. Leukopoietin from the kidneys stimulates white blood cell production.e. Lymphocytes are produced from megakaryocytes.arrow_forwardIn patients with lymphomas, the cancer cells invade the bone marrow and destroy the environment required for normal hematopoiesis. This leads to bone marrow failure, which disrupts the production of hematopoietic cell lineages. All of the following cell types would be affected by this EXCEPT:A. Red blood cellsB. MacrophagesC. LymphocytesD. Endothelial cellsE. Granulocytesarrow_forward
