In the bone marrow, the first morphologically recognizable erythroid precursor is the………..
This cell can undergo four to five cell divisions, which result in the production of…………
With increased …………. production, or the administration of it as a drug, early progenitor cell numbers are amplified and, in turn, give rise to increased numbers of erythrocytes

Hematocrit levels are less useful
The mean hematocrit value for adult males is …………..and that for adult females is………….

42% (±5%)
With acute blood loss, hypovolemia dominates the clinical picture, and the hematocrit and hemoglobin levels do not reflect the volume of blood lost

Total iron binding capacity (TIBC)
because of the intrinsic compensatory mechanisms the gradual onset of anemia—particularly in young patients
—may not be associated with signs or symptoms until the anemia is severe (hemoglobin <70–80 g/L [7–8 g/dL])
This compensatory mechanism can only maintain normal tissue O2 delivery in the face of a 20–30 g/L (2–3 g/dL) deficit in hemoglobin concentration
The skin and mucous membranes may be pale if the hemoglobin
If the palmar creases are lighter in color than the surrounding skin when the hand is hyperextended, the hemoglobin level

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and certain hemoglobinopathies are seen more commonly in
Middle Eastern or African origin, including African Americans
Further protection of O2 delivery to vital organs is achieved by the shunting of blood away from organs that are relatively rich in blood supply
Particularly the kidney, gut, and skin
