2-Hemolymphatic System Flashcards
Where are 6 locations of where pre-natal period hematopoiesis can occur?
- Yolk sac
- Liver
- Spleen
- Thymus
- Lymph Nodes
- Bone marrow
What are the 7 main components of the hematopoietic system?
- Cellular elements of the blood
- Bone marrow
- Spleen
- Lymph Nodes
- Thymus
- Accessory lymphoid tissue
- Mononuclear phagocyte system
Where does post-natal period hematopoiesis occur?
Bone marrow
Where are 2 locations of hematopoiesis in adults?
- Flat bones
- Metaphysis-cancellous bone
Hematopoiesis is a controlled process that can be influenced by what 3 factors?
- Cytokines
- Hormones
- Growth factors
Normally, only what type of cells are released into systemic circulation, immature or mature?
Mature
It is considered abnormal when which cells are released, immature or mature?
Immature
What does release of immature cells indicate?
Bone marrow stress or disease
Red marrow is progressively replaced by what as an animal ages?
Fat
What is indicated in persistent hematologic abnormalities that are unexplainable based on clinical findings and examination of blood?
Bone marrow biopsy
Which is performed for often, bone marrow core (trephine) biopsy or aspiration biopsy?
Aspiration biopsy
When aspiration does not yield an adequate sample because of myelofibrosis or poor technique or when evaluation of overall cellularity is needed what needs to be performed?
Bone marrow biopsy
What are 4 things a core bone marrow biopsy can confirm and characterize?
- Hematopoietic hypoplasia
- Cell density
- Cell distribution
- Marrow architecture
Where are 3 locations a core bone marrow biopsies can be taken from?
- Humerus (greater tubercle)
- Ilium crest
- Femur
What angle should the needle be inserted at for a core bone marrow biopsies from the humerus?
About 45 degrees
What might a needle inserted too proximal result in for a core bone marrow biopsy?
Entry into the scapulohumeral joint.
What might needle insertion at an angle perpendicular to the humerus result in with a core bone marrow biopsy?
Entry into the bicipital bursa that communicates with the scapulohumeral joint on the medial side of the limb.
What are 3 possible causes for increased red marrow appearance?
- Increased demand for red blood cells
- Increased demand for leukocytes
- Neoplasia erythroid or myeloid
What is a possible cause for increased demand for red blood cells?
Erythroid hyperplasia
What is a possible cause for increased demand for leukocytes?
Myeloid hyperplasia
What is a possible cause for neoplasia, erythroid or myeloid?
Leukemia
How long does it take to see gross changes of marrow stimulation with increased red marrow due to increased demand for RBCs?
About 3 weeks
