Question
Chapter 19.4, Problem 21AYP
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The time until which red blood cells are present in the circulation and place from where red blood cells are removed from the blood. Also, determine the three breakdown products of hemoglobin and their consequences.
Introduction:
Erythropoietin (EPO) is the protein that is synthesized in the liver only in the conditions when the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to the tissues and organs that require oxygen. This condition is called hypoxia. It works by targeting the CFU-E (colony forming units-erythroblasts) to differentiate proerythroblast and basophilic erythroblasts into mature erythroblasts.
