CHAPTER 2 - HEMATOPOIESIS Flashcards
Formation and development of all blood cells
HEMATOPOIESIS
Encompasses the overall interactions of cellular proliferation, differentiation, morphogenesis, functional maturation, and death
HEMATOPOIESIS
Occurs predominantly in the bone marrow (3rd trimester)
HEMATOPOIESIS
TERMINOLOGIES IN BLOOD CELL MATURATION
Dyspoiesis
Erythropoiesis
Granulopoiesis (Lymphopoiesis)
– abnormal production of red blood cells
Dyspoiesis
MODES OF TRANSMISSION
Synchronous
Asynchronous
Concomitant, coordinated, and parallel development of nucleus and cytoplasm (remains constant)
Synchronous
Rate of maturation of nucleus and cytoplasm are the same
Synchronous
Abnormal development of blood cell
Asynchronous
Rate of maturation of nucleus and cytoplasm differs
Asynchronous
Eg. Mature nucleus within an agranular cytoplasm
Asynchronous
STAGES OF HEMATOPOIESIS
Intrauterine formation
Mesoblastic/megaloblastic Period
Hepatic Stage
Medullary or Myeloid Stage
Chief site: YOLK SAC
Mesoblastic/megaloblastic Period
Formation of “blood islands” – progenitor cell (mesodermal cells)
Mesoblastic/megaloblastic Period
Detected 19th to 20th day of gestation (8th to 12th week) – 1st month of fetal development
Mesoblastic/megaloblastic Period
Hemohistioblast → Primitive RBC (nucleated RBC)/”megaloblast of Ehrlich” → Mature RBC
Mesoblastic/megaloblastic Period
Embryonal Hb: Portland, Gower I, Gower II – for fetus
Mesoblastic/megaloblastic Period
Areas of leucopoiesis and megakaryopoiesis
Mesoblastic/megaloblastic Period
Formation of primitive endothelial cells and vascular system
Mesoblastic/megaloblastic Period
Carrier protein: Albumin
Mesoblastic/megaloblastic Period
Chief site: LIVER
Peak of activity: 3rd or 4th month (liver and spleen)
Hepatic stage
Spleen (?)
Thymus and Lymph nodes (?)
4th to 7th month
4th month
HbF (fetal hemoglobin) production
Hepatic Stage
Yolk sac decreases
Hepatic Stage
ADULT contains fetal hemoglobin
Hepatic Stage
Chief site: BONE MARROW (chief site at birth)
Medullary or Myeloid Stage
Peak of activity: 5th month (monocytes) – increases during the last trimester; 9th month (lymphocytes)
Medullary or Myeloid Stage
HbA (adult)
Medullary or Myeloid Stage
Chief site: yolk sac
Mesoblastic or Megaloblastic Phase
This phase starts on the 1st month of fetal life
Mesoblastic or Megaloblastic Phase
first develop within the blood island followed by leukopoiesis & megakaryopoiesis.
Primitive RBC (“megaloblast of Ehrlich”)
Embryonal hemoglobins are synthesized during this phase.
Mesoblastic or Megaloblastic Phase
Chief site: Liver
Hepatic Phase
This phase starts on the 3rd month of fetal life
Hepatic Phase
Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) is synthesized during this phase
Hepatic Phase
This starts on the 5th month of fetal life. It increases during the last trimester and remains the chief site at birth.
Myeloid / Medullary Phase
Production of adult hemoglobins (HbA) starts during this phase
Myeloid / Medullary Phase
Control center of the cell
Nucleus

IMMATURE/BLAST CELL
Nucleoli: Absent
MATURE CELL
Chromatin: Fine and delicate
IMMATURE/BLAST CELL
Chromatin: Coarse and clumped
MATURE CELL
Nucleus: Round
IMMATURE/BLAST CELL
Nucleus: Round, lobulated, and segmented
MATURE CELL
Cytoplasm:
Basophilic
Rich in RNA
Acidic
IMMATURE/BLAST CELL
Cytoplasm:
Less basophilic
Less RNA
Basic
MATURE CELL
N:C Ratio: Low
MATURE CELL
CONTAINS NO GRANULES
BLAST CELLS
There are four types of granules seen using Wright’s stain:
Neutrophilic granules
Eosinophilic granules
Basophilic granules
Azurophilic granules
Neutrophilic granules =
pink to rose violet
Eosinophilic granules =
reddish orange
Basophilic granules =
dark purple to blue-black
Azurophilic granules =
sky blue
As cells become granular, non-specific granules become [?] except the [?] where there are no differential cytoplasmic granules.
