What is the name of the multipotential stem cell that is able to differentiate into all other blood cells?
A
lymphoid stem cell
B
hemocytoblast
C
myeloid stem cell
D
megakaryocyte
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An immature cell that can develop into all types of blood cells, including white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Hematopoietic stem cells are found in the peripheral blood and the bone marrow. Also called blood stem cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adult stem cells such as neural stem cells (NSCs), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are multipotent stem cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Myeloid Stem Cells, also called Common Myeloid Progenitor Cells, give rise to all the other formed elements, including the erythrocytes; megakaryocytes that produce platelets; and a myeloblast lineage that gives rise to monocytes and three forms of granular leukocytes: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are multipotent primitive cells that can develop into all types of blood cells, including myeloid-lineage and lymphoid-lineage cells (1). HSCs can be found in several organs, such as peripheral blood (PB), bone marrow (BM), and umbilical cord blood (UCB).
