Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thrombopoietin is a hormone that stimulates the development of megakaryoblasts, which eventually differentiate into platelets. Erythropoietin stimulates the development of erythrocytes (red blood cells), and human growth hormone stimulates growth and development of various tissues. Nitric oxide and heparin have different functions in the body and are not involved in megakaryoblast development.
