Which of the following is produced by the kidneys, induced by hypoaxia?

Intrinsic factor
Extrinsic factor
Erythropoietin
Erythrocytes

Explanation

Answer - C - Erythropoietin is produced by the kidneys, induced by hypoaxia. It is a hormone produced by the kidneys, which promotes red blood cell formation by the bone marrow. Hypoaxia is a condition by which the whole or part of the body has inadequate oxygen supply. Kidney cells release erythropoietin to stimulate bone marrow to produce more red blood cells to increase the supply of oxygen.
