Q

What is interesting about the division of cells that creates a megakaryocyte?

A

It occurs without cytokinesis, resulting in a large nucleus. This is also called “successive endomitosis.”

  • Karyo- means “relating to the nucleus of a cell”*

Q

At what stage of granulopoiesis do we start to see specificity between neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils?

A

The myelocyte phase

This is where we see granules form that are specific to the granulocyte the cell intends to become. Cells will be named as such, eosinophilic myelocyte, basophilic myelocyte, etc. based on their destination.
