Question

what type of red bone marrow cells can become any type of formed element?
a globulin stem cells
b multipotent stem cells
c totipotent stem cells
d lymphatic stem cells

Explanation:

• Globulin stem cells: Globulins are proteins in the blood, not stem cells that can differentiate into formed elements.
• Multipotent stem cells: These cells have the ability to differentiate into multiple types of cells within a specific cell lineage. In the context of red bone marrow, multipotent stem cells can give rise to various formed elements (such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets).
• Totipotent stem cells: These are the most undifferentiated type of stem cells and can develop into any type of cell in the body, including extra - embryonic tissues. They are not the type of cells in red bone marrow that specifically form blood - related formed elements.
• Lymphatic stem cells: As the name suggests, these are more specific to the lymphatic cell lineage and do not have the broad differentiation capacity to become any type of formed element in the blood.

Answer:

B. Multipoten t stem cells
