3) RBC development Flashcards
erythron
total population of mature erythrocytes and their precursors in blood, bone marrow and other sites
differentiations of erythropoiesis
CFU-GEMM + IL-3, GM-CSF →
CFU-EMk + IL-3, GM-CSF →
BFU-E + IL-3, GM-CSF →
CFU-E + EPO →
rubriblast
at CFU-E stage, cells develop…
Rh antigens and EPO receptors
Stephenson
discovered CFU-E
Axelrad
discovered BFU-E
in the bone marrow
difficult to ID morphologically
RBC precursors/progenitors
insensitive to EPO
BFU-E
changes that occur as erythrocytes develop
- cell volume ↓
- chromatin condenses
- nucleoli disappear
- RNA is lost (↓ blue)
- hemoglobin is produced (↑ red)
- mitochondria are lost
- nucleus is ejected
list both terminologies of morphologically identifiable RBCs, and how long they live (6)
- Rubriblast —Pronormoblast (12 hours)
- Prorubricyte —Basophilic normoblast (20 hours)
- Rubricyte —Polychromatophilic normoblast (30 hours)
- Metarubricyte —Orthochromatic normoblast (48 hours)
- Reticulocyte (diffusely basophilic) —Polychromatophilic erythrocyte (2-3 days marrow, 1-2 days blood)
- Mature RBC (120 days)
final RBC stage with nucleus
metarubricyte/orthrochromatic normoblast
final RBC stage capable of division
rubricyte/polychromatophilic normoblast
—– RBCs are produced from a single rubriblast

EPO is a ————
glycoprotein hormone
erythropoiesis occurs over about —– days in response to EPO

appearance of Fe-deficient cells
poorly hemoglobinized
scanty ragged cytoplasm
more basic stain (blue)
