Question

The common myeloid progenitor (CMP) will produce a megakaryocyte/erythrocyte progenitor. What type of cell produced by the megakaryocyte/erythrocyte progenitor will eventually give rise to erythrocytes?

1) Myeloblast
2) Megakaryoblast
3) Monoblast
4) Rubriblast

Answer 1

The Rubriblast is the type of cell produced by the megakaryocyte/erythrocyte progenitor that will eventually give rise to erythrocytes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of cell produced by the megakaryocyte/erythrocyte progenitor that will eventually give rise to erythrocytes is the Rubriblast. Myeloid stem cells give rise to all the other formed elements, including erythrocytes, megakaryocytes that produce platelets, and the myeloblast lineage that gives rise to monocytes and three forms of granular leukocytes. The Rubriblast is the precursor cell that matures into erythrocytes, also known as red blood cells.
