Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are multipotent stem cells that give rise to all of the cell types in the blood, including B and T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, platelets, and erythrocytes.
Detailed explanation-2: -They exist in bone marrow, fat tissue, dental pulp, heart tissue, and many other places. These are all adult stem cells, although multipotent stem cells also exist within perinatal tissues, such as umbilical cord blood and tissue and placental blood and tissue.
