Colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) are secreted glycoproteins that bind to receptor proteins on the surfaces of hemopoietic stem cells, thereby activating intracellular signaling pathways that can cause the cells to proliferate and differentiate into a specific kind of blood cell (usually white blood cells. For red blood cell formation, see erythropoietin).

Thyroid Functions10. A 32-year-old woman in her second trimester of pregnancy presented to the clinic for a check- up. The patient had a 5-year history of excessive alcohol intake and had been using cocaine frequently for the past 3 years.

Pertinent laboratory values were red blood cell count (RBC) 2.7 106/mm3 (norm al, fem ale 3.5-5.5 x 106/mm3), mean corpuscular volume 112 fl. (norm al 80-100 fl.), serum vitamin B12 350 pg/in L. (norm al 280 pg/mL), serum ferritin 200 ng/mL (norm al 30-300 ng/mL). Blood stain showed in acro- ovalocytic RBCs and hyper segmentation of neutrophils. Which of the following drugs would

Hearing: When sound waves enter your ear canal, your tympanic membrane (eardrum) vibrates. This vibration passes on to three tiny bones (ossicles) in your middle ear. The ossicles amplify and transmit these sound waves to your inner ear. Once the sound waves reach your inner ear, tiny hair cells called stereocilia transform the vibrations into electrical energy and send it along nerve fibers to your brain.
Balance: Your inner ear contains semicircular canals filled with fluid and hair-like sensors. When you move your head, the fluid inside these loop-shaped canals sloshes around and moves the hairs. The hairs transmit this information along the vestibular nerve to your brain. Finally, your brain sends signals to your muscles to help you stay balanced.Cyst of ganglion.Normal circulation of CSF.Tetralogy of FallotBasic kidney functionsAngiotensin II
