Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Interleukins, thrombopoietin, and Meg-CSF all stimulate megakaryocyte and platelet production. Erythropoietin stimulates red blood cell (RBC) production.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The storage pool of granulocytes in the bone marrow is composed primarily of mature segmented neutrophils and a smaller number of bands. These cells are fully functional and can be readily released to peripheral blood when needed in response to infection.
