3. As far as I remember from the stem cells develop, the Granulocytes(Neutrophils, eosinophils and Basophils), the Limphocytes(small mononuclear cell), the Monocytes(large mononuclear cell), the plasmocytes(plasma cells), the erythrocytes(red blood cells) and the megakaryocytes and Thrombocytes(platelets). So in total should be six which again are Monoblast, Myeloblast(granulocytes cells), Lymphoblast, Plasmoblast, Rubriblast and Megakaryoblast. The Rubliblast are the one who produces Red Cells. Myeloblast, Lymphoblast, Plasmocytes and Monoblast are all which are call "White Cells". And the last one the Megakaryocytes is the one that at the end become a cell call platelets. In general White Cells protects the body against infections, viral=lymphocytes, bacterial=granulocytes. Red Cells carries oxigen through all the body and Platelets works in the coagulation process. I hope that clarify your doubt. The subject could be deeper than these. The answer is six active stem cells. I hope this clarify your doubt.
