Answer to Question 1

Answer: Erythropoiesis is governed by a negative feedback mechanism centered on hypoxic conditions. Hypoxia stimulates synthesis of EPO by the kidney. When erythropoiesis is sufficient to correct the hypoxia, the negative feedback is shut off. This is done by downregulating kidney synthesis of EPO.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: D
