Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Whenever hematopoiesis occurs outside the bone marrow in an adult, other than lymphopoiesis in lymphatic tissue, it is called extramedullary. This is abnormal.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
As mature blood cells come into contact with endothelial cells in the bone marrow, they bind to the surface via a receptor-mediated process. The binding creates a space between the luminal adventitial and endothelial cells. This allows the bone marrow cells to escape into circulation.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
