Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Macrophages in the spleen normally remove abnormal inclusions from red cells, which includes Howell-Jolly bodies. This process is called pitting.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Maturing red cells are found in two places in the bone marrow: (1) adjacent to the outer surfaces of the vascular sinuses and (2) surrounding iron-laden macrophages.
