Match the following: -Stimulates WBC production. A)Prostaglandin derivates such as Thromboxane A₂ B)Erythropoietin C)Spectrin D)Heparin E)Interleukins and CSFs

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interleukins and CSFs (colony stimulating factors) are known to stimulate the production of WBCs. Prostaglandin derivatives such as Thromboxane A₂ are involved in platelet activation and aggregation, not WBC production. Erythropoietin stimulates the production of red blood cells, not WBCs. Spectrin is a membrane protein found in red blood cells, not a factor that stimulates WBC production. Heparin is an anticoagulant drug that prevents blood clotting, not a factor that stimulates WBC production.
