Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of hematopoietic stem cells: These are multipotent stem cells found in the bone marrow that have the ability to differentiate into various types of blood cells.
Identify the types of cells hematopoietic stem cells can differentiate into: They can develop into all types of blood cells, including myeloid and lymphoid lineages.
Recognize the myeloid lineage: This includes macrophages, red blood cells, neutrophils, and dendritic cells. Hematopoietic stem cells can differentiate into these cell types.
Recognize the lymphoid lineage: This includes B cells, which are part of the adaptive immune system. Hematopoietic stem cells can also differentiate into these cells.
Conclude that hematopoietic stem cells can develop into all the cell types listed in the problem: Macrophage, Red Blood Cell, Neutrophil, B Cell, and Dendritic cell.
