Bone Marrow Evaluation and Lymphoid Organs Flashcards
the adult hematopoietic tissue is located in what organs?
primary and secondary lymphoid organs
these are the primary lymphoid organs
bone marrow and thymus
these are the secondary lymphoid organs
spleen, lymph nodes, and liver
two types of bone marrow
red marrow and yellow marrow
bone marrow
it is made up of adipose tissues
yellow marrow
bone marrow
it is where the hematopoietically active cells are located
red marrow
these are the active hematopoietic cells in the red marrow
erythroid, myeloid, megakaryocytic, and lymphoid cells
it is the location of further differentiation of the lymphocyte into either T-cell, B-cell, or Killer cells
thymus
these are the sites of lymphocyte activation in response to foreign antigens for functional adaptive immunity
secondary lymphoid organs
it is the site of hematopoiesis and it is enclosed within the cavities of the cortical bones and within the projection of calcified bone called the trabeculae
bone marrow
it provides structural support to the developing hematopoietic cells
trabeculae
adults
distribution of hematopoietic cells within the red marrow
flat bones - such as sternum, pelvis, ribs, scapulae, skull, proximal portions of long bones
infancy and early childhood
distribution of red marrow
most of the cavity of long bones is composed of entirely red marrow
process
it is a process of replacing red marrow to yellow marrow within the long bones from infancy to adult age
it is also known as the process when yellow marrow reverts to red marrow in severe hypoxic event to compensate for the poor oxygenation of the body
retrogression
other components of the bone marrow aside from the hematopoietic cells
stromal cells and blood vessels
the stromal cells include:
- adipocytes (fat cells)
- macrophages
- lymphocytes
- endothelial cells
- osteoblasts
- osteoclasts
- reticular adventitial cells (fibroblast)
stromal cell
it is a large cell with fat vacuole that helps in the regulation of the volume of the marrow in active hematopoiesis
adipocytes
stromal cell
it functions as a phagocyte and it also nurses the developing progenitor red cells with iron
it also releases cytokines that regulate the development of blood cells
macrophage
stromal cell
other cells involved in the release of cytokines
endothelial and reticular adventitial cells
stromal cell
it forms an incomplete layer of cell that extends to the vascular sinuses within the bone tissue
it also provides support to developing hematopoietic cells
reticular adventitial cell
stromal cell
involved in bone matrix formation and remodeling
osteoblast
stromal cell
involved in bone resorption or destruction
osteoclast
these cells secrete a semifluid extracellular matrix that anchors the hematopoietic cells
stromal cells
substances in the extracellular matrix secreted by the stromal cells
- fibronectin
- laminin
- collagen
- thrombospondin
- tenascin
- proteoglycans
how are red marrow arranged within the bone
in cords - known as extravascular cords
two arteries that supplies oxygen and nutrition in the bone marrow and the bone matrix
nutrient artery, periosteal artery
where does the nutrient and periosteal artery enter the bone
bone foramina
an opening in the bone
it is the artery that supplies blood to the bone marrow ONLY
nutrient artery
it is the artery that supplies blood to both the osseous bone and the bone marrow
periosteal artery
it is the vein that collects the blood from the tissue to be delivered back to the circulation
central longitudinal vein
it is the major site of blood production during fetal development
during the second trimester
liver
these are the liver cells
hepatocytes
various functions of the hepatocytes
- protein and clotting factor synthesis
- carbohydrate and lipid metabolism
- drugs and toxin removal
- iron storage
- recycling
- hemoglobin degradation
how is liver involved in hemoglobin degradation
produces conjugated bilirubin that is eventually excreted out through the intestine and kidney (in the urine or feces)
this is the liver macrophage
Kupffer cells
they are responsible for removing senescent or old cells, cellular fragments, or debris from the blood that circulated within the liver tissue
Kupffer cells
it also helps in protein synthesis regulation within the liver cells by releasing certain mediators
Kupffer cells
it is a secondary lymphoid orgna that contributes in the development and differentiation of the lymphocytes
spleen
two functions of the spleen
pitting and culling
it is the function of the spleen when it filters the circulating blood to remove the abnormal inclusions within the red cell and damaged red cell membrane
pitting function
spleen is known as this because it removes red cell remnants, senescent, and abnormal cells
graveyard
these are the three splenic tissues
- white pulp
- red pulp
- marginal zone
splenic tissue
these are scatterred follicles with germinal centers that contains various cells
white pulp
cells that are contained in the white pulp
- lymphocytes
- activated B-cells
- macrophages
- dendritic cells
this is an artery that passes through the germinal centers of the white pulp where T-lymphocytes aggregates
periarterial lymphatic sheath (PALS)
these are located along the periphery of the PALS
lymphoid nodules containing B-cells
it forms a reticular meshwork that contains blood vessels, macrophages, B-memory cells, and T-helper cells
marginal zone
it is made up of vascular sinuses separated by cords of reticular cell meshwork
red pulp
what do you call the reticular cell meshwork that separates the vascular sinuses of the red pulp
cords of Billroth
it comprises of loosely connected special-activated macrophages
it also creates a spongelike matrix that produces tremendous pressure and stress on red cells
cords of Billroth
this is the function of the spleen when senescent red cells are phagocytized with subsequent degradation of cell organelles
it involves depletion of glucose supply or red cells making the red cells unable to withstand harsh environment on the area which eventually leads to its destruction and degradation
culling function
they play an important role in the proliferation of lymphocytes for the activation of the adaptive immunity
lymph nodes
they are bean-shaped organ that is divided into two regions - cortex and medulla
lymph nodes
lymph nodes
it is the outer portion of lymph tissue where it is enclosed by a capsule and forms a trabeculae
cortex
lymph nodes
two types of follicles
primary and secondary
it is the follicle of lymph nodes that has germinal centers on it which is comprised of activated B-cells
secondary follicle
lymph nodes
it is composed of cords containing plasma cells and B-cells
medulla
it is another structure in the lymph nodes that lies between the cortex and medulla where T-cells and macrophage are located
paracortex
these do not have yet a specified CD marker known as double negative cell that goes to the outer cortical region of the thymys and waits for cytokine stimulation
prethymic lymphocytes
when the prethymic lymphocytes travels inwardly the cortex, they transform into?
double positive T-cells with both CD4 and CD8 markers
when the double positive T cells go deeply within the inner part of the thymus (medulla), they transform into?
either CD4 positive or CD8 positive cell
depends on nature of cytokine that stimulates their differentiation
CD markers of B-cells
CD19, CD20, CD22
CD markers of large granular lymphocytes
CD16, CD56
it is the organ where self-antigen recognition by the T-cell occurs
thymus
these are the T-cells that do not carry self antigen
reactive T cells
the reactive T-cells are eliminated via?
apoptosis or self-destruction
