Q

list both terminologies of morphologically identifiable RBCs, and how long they live (6)

A
  1. Rubriblast —Pronormoblast (12 hours)
  2. Prorubricyte —Basophilic normoblast (20 hours)
  3. Rubricyte —Polychromatophilic normoblast (30 hours)
  4. Metarubricyte —Orthochromatic normoblast (48 hours)
  5. Reticulocyte (diffusely basophilic) —Polychromatophilic erythrocyte (2-3 days marrow, 1-2 days blood)
  6. Mature RBC (120 days)

Q

megaloblastic development results from…

required for DNA synthesis/nucleus development

17
Q

appearance of megaloblastic cells

A

large
increased amount of hemoglobin
