Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bone marrow from a donor is infused intravenously,not intraabdominally,and the transfused stem cells will repopulate the marrow.Because the stem cells migrate to the recipient's marrow when given intravenously,this method of administration is used rather than bone grafting or bone marrow injection.
