2.4 Myeloid Flashcards
AKA Colony forming units
Progenitor cells
AKA hemopoietic cytokines
Colony-stimulating factors
Source of TPO
Kidney and liver
Source of EPO
Kidney and hepatocytes
ECM composition of bone marrow
Collagen ype I
Proteoglycans
FIbronectin
Laminin
Marrows of newborns
Red bone marrow
Marrows of adults
Yellow bone marrow
Stimulates production of RBCs in the bone marrow
Hemopoietic growth factor, erythropoietin
Stage of erythrocyte maturation where hemoglobin synthesis starts but is not significant enough to change the color of the cytoplasm
Basophilic erythroblast stage
Stage in erythrocyte maturation where hemoglobin synthesis is more significant and characterized by lilac color due to presence of both pasiphilia and acidophilia
Polychromatic erythroblast stage
Earliest and first recognizable stage of the RBC maturation
Proerythroblast
Stage with checkerboard patternStart of synthesis of Hgb
Basophilic erythroblast
Stage with lilac color of rbc maturation, more condense nucleus
After this stage, mitotic activity ceases
Polychromatophilic erythroblast
RBC stage similar to a mature erythrocyte
Fried egg appearance
Nucleus is found at one side
Acidophillic cytoplasm
Orthochromatophilic erythroblast (normoblast)
Most immature recognizable cell in the myeloid series
Myeloblast
Stage of granulocyte maturation with basophilic cytpolasm + non-specific azurophilic granules
Promyelocyte
Stage of granulocyte maturation with 1st visible sign of differentiation
Specific granules begin
Ovoid nucleus
Myelocyte
Stage of granulocyte maturation with deeply indented nucleus, and specific granules
Metamyelocyte
Total time taken for a myeloblast to emerge as a mature neutrophil is about ___ days
11 days
Platelets are fragments of ___
Megakaryocyte
Invaginations of plasma membrane throughout the cytoplasm of the megakaryocyte
Serves as a membrane reservoir for continuous and rapid proplatelet elongation
Demarcation membranes
Mitotic compartment of granulocytes
Granulopoietic compartment
Granulopoietic compartment which acts as a buffer system; releases neutrophils on demand
Stores neutrophils up to 4 days
Storage compartment
Compartment of neutrophils in capillaries and endothelium
Marginating comparment
