1.3 Hematopoiesis β€” Test 1
Q1. In adults, haematopoiesis normally occurs in the:βœ“ Bone marrow
Q2. The correct sequence of fetal haematopoietic sites is:βœ“ Yolk sac β†’ liver/spleen β†’ bone marrow
Q3. A widely used surface marker of human haematopoietic stem cells is:βœ“ CD34
Q4. A defining property unique to haematopoietic stem cells is:βœ“ Self-renewal
Q5. Erythropoietin, the main regulator of red-cell production, is produced chiefly by the:βœ“ Kidney
Q6. The growth factor that drives platelet production from megakaryocytes is:βœ“ Thrombopoietin
Q7. The cytokine essential for both B- and T-lymphocyte development is:βœ“ IL-7
Q8. G-CSF (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) primarily stimulates production of:βœ“ Neutrophils
Q9. Megakaryocytes give rise to:βœ“ Platelets
Q10. During erythrocyte maturation, the developing red cell:βœ“ Extrudes its nucleus
Q11. B lymphocytes complete their maturation in the:βœ“ Bone marrow
Q12. T lymphocytes complete their maturation in the:βœ“ Thymus
Q13. Monocytes that migrate into tissues differentiate into:βœ“ Macrophages
Q14. Haematopoiesis is regulated by:βœ“ Cytokines/growth factors and the marrow stromal niche
Q15. The common lymphoid progenitor can give rise to all EXCEPT:βœ“ Erythrocytes
Q16. IL-3 is sometimes called 'multi-CSF' because it:βœ“ Supports several myeloid lineages
Q17. GM-CSF promotes the development of:βœ“ Granulocytes and macrophages
Q18. Dendritic cells in haematopoiesis arise:βœ“ Mainly from myeloid (and some lymphoid) progenitors
Q19. Extramedullary haematopoiesis (in liver/spleen) in an adult usually indicates:βœ“ Increased demand or marrow failure
Q20. Match each growth factor with the lineage it predominantly stimulates and select the correct option.βœ“ A-iii, B-iv, C-i, D-ii
