Cells and Tissues of the Immune System Flashcards
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)
An undifferentiated stem cell in the fetal yolk sac or liver or in adult bone marrow that asymmetrically divides to give rise to additional stem cells and a cell that differentiates into one of multiple different lineages. A hematopoietic stem cell in the bone marrow will give rise to cells of the lymphoid, myeloid, and erythrocytic lineage.
