They were at one point, but as they grow they differentiate and can no longer be counted as stem cells.

Do all formed elements arise from a common type of stem cell called hemocytoblast?

Technically yes they are because hemocytoblast stem cells create Myeloid stem cells and Lymphoid stem cells which produce all of the formed elements (white and red blood cells).


Which is the parent cell for all formed elements of blood?

Hematopoietic stem cells are the parent cells for all formed elements of blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. These stem cells have the ability to differentiate into various specialized blood cells through a process called hematopoiesis.


What are The ancestors of all blood cells are called?

Hematopoietic stem cells are the ancestors of all blood cells. These cells have the ability to differentiate into various types of blood cells, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.


What are the types of stem cells?

There are five basic stem cells classifications there is embryonic stem cells, fetal stem cells. There are the Umbilical cord stem cells, placenta stem cells, and lastly there are adult stem cells.

What are the three main types of stem cells?

The three types of stem cells are Totipotent, Pluripotent and Multipotent. Edit By Camden Stevens: there are actually four- Totipotent, Pluripotent, Multipotent, and Unipotent stem cells. Toti, Pluri, and Multipotent are all embryotic stem cells, which means they occur in the embryo before the child is actually born, then pluripotent and multipotent last until adulthood. Then unipotent stem cells occur through adulthood to the rest of the life.


What term describes the kind of stem cell that can grow into all cell types in the body?

The term that describes stem cells capable of developing into all cell types in the body is "pluripotent stem cells." These cells can differentiate into nearly any cell type, including those from all three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. An example of pluripotent stem cells is embryonic stem cells, which are derived from early-stage embryos.


Where are the stem cells that replace old blood cells located in adults?

Stem cells that replace old blood cells are primarily found in the bone marrow of adults. These adult stem cells are called hematopoietic stem cells and they are responsible for producing all types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.


What is a special feature for a stem cell?

Stem cells are important cells found in all multi-celled organisms, that can divide and recognise problems. In mammals, there are two types of stem cells: embryonic cells, and adult stem cells, which are found in various tissues. In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, renewing and restoring adult tissues.


All formed elements come from a stem cell called what?

All formed elements in the blood are derived from a hematopoietic stem cell. These stem cells have the ability to differentiate into various types of blood cells, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.


What type of cell gives rise to all immune cells?

Hematopoietic stem cells are responsible for giving rise to all immune cells, including T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells. These stem cells are found in the bone marrow and have the ability to differentiate into various types of blood cells that make up the immune system.
