Chap 4 Flashcards
Hematopoiesis
Differentiation
The process that shapes a immature cell’s destiny.
Commitment
When an HSC commits to a cell lineage.
Maturation
The cell’s process of growing.
Hematopoiesis
process of Blood cell production, development, and replacement, that usually occurs in the BM.
What is the purpose of Hematopoiesis?
Allows system to respond to stimuli like infection, bleeding, or hypoxia, by increasing production of the needed cell line.
HSCs can differentiate into what?
Lymphoid or Myeloid Lineages
HSCs are directed to 1 of 3 possible fates?
Self-Renewal
Differentiation
Apoptosis
The process of replacing active marrow by adipocytes (yellow marrow cells) during development is called?
Retrogression
Adipocytes
Large cells W/ a single fat vacuole and play a role in regulating the volume of marrow in which active hematopoiesis occurs.
What secretes cytokines or GFs that positively stimulate HSC #s and bone homeostasis?
Adipocytes
Medullary sites?
Origin of blood cells and sequential sites of normal blood production w/n BM.
Extramedullary Sites?
Blood cell production in Hematopoietic tissue other than BM (Liver, Spleen), and provide compensatory mechanism to blood cells in time of need.
Primary production sites of a fetus?
Yolk Sac
Liver and Spleen
BM (All Bones)
Primary production sites of an adult?
*Child up to Teens- All bones
*18+ - Flat Bones (Sternum, Ribs, Pelvis, Vertebra, Skull)
*Adults- BM
Hematopoiesis stages in life
Yolk Sac(19days-2.5 fetal months)
Spleen & Liver(2.5-6 fetal months)
BM(Around 5th fetal month)
Spleen & Liver(stop @ birth)
All bones (until teen years)
Flat bones (20-50)(TIbia, Femur, Lymph Nodes, Rib, Sternum, Vertebra)
Just BM(Adults)
1st stage of Hematopoiesis?
Mesoblastic
Mesoblastic begins in the mesoderm of?
Yolk Sac and forms Erythroid cells
How long does production take place in the yolk sac?
19 days to 2.5 fetal months
Angioblasts
Cells that surround the cavity of the yolk sac and eventually form blood vessels.
Fetal Hemoglobins found in these embryonic cells?
Gower-1
Gower-2
Portland
The second phase of hematopoiesis in a fetus?
Hepatic Phase
When does the hepatic phase begin?
5-7 gestational weeks
How is the hepatic phase characterized?
Recognizable clusters of Eryths, Grans, and Monos
Major site of hematopoiesis in the 2nd phase?
Liver
