Q
  1. Which of the following determines the timing of egress of RBCs from the bone marrow?

a. Stromal cells decrease production of adhesive molecules over time as RBCs mature.
b. Endothelial cells of the venous sinus form pores at specified intervals of time, allowing egress of free cells.

d. Maturing normoblasts slowly lose receptors for adhesive molecules that bind them to stromal cells.
