Erythropoietin (EPO) stimulates:

Answer: Red blood cell production in bone marrow.

  • A White blood cell production within lymphoid tissue
  • B Red blood cell production in bone marrow
  • C Platelet production from bone marrow megakaryocytes
  • D Insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells

Correct answer: B. Red blood cell production in bone marrow

Explanation: Erythropoietin (EPO): produced by kidneys in response to low O<sub>2</sub>. Stimulates red blood cell (erythrocyte) production in bone marrow.

ECG: The Three Key WavesP wave(atrial depol.)QRS complex(ventricular depol.)T wave(ventricular repol.)QRS is the tallest spike - ventricles have far more muscle mass than the atria

A single ECG cycle: the P wave marks atrial depolarisation (contraction signal), the large QRS complex marks ventricular depolarisation, and the T wave marks ventricular repolarisation (recovery) before the next cycle begins.

Concept context

Blood, lymph, the heart, the cardiac cycle, blood pressure, and ECG. High NEET weightage.
