Chapter 7- Hematopoiesis Flashcards
- A term used to signify production of blood cell
- process of blood cell production that includes cell renewal, proliferation, differentiation, and maturation.
Hematopoiesis
Where is the result of the process of hematopoiesis released?
from the bone marrow to the circulation
life span of RBC
120 days
A hematopoietic stem cell is capable of self-renewal and directed differentiation into all required cell lineage.
TRUE
In healthy adults hematopoietic is restricted primarily to the
Bone marrow
Mesoblastic phase
previously been considered to be the only site of definitive hematopoiesis during embryonic development.
Hepatic phase
who concluded that the yolk sac was the major site of adult blood formation in the embryo
Metcalf and Moore supported by Weissman and colleagues.
The precise origin of the adult HSC remain UNSOLVED
TRUE
Hepatic Phase
- begins at 5 to 7 gestational weeks
- characterized by recognizable clusters of developing erythroblast, granulocytes, and monocytes colonizing the fetal liver, thymus, spleen, placenta, and ultimately the bone marrow space in the final medullary phase
Hematopoiesis in the aorta-gonad mesonephros region and the yolk sac disappear during this stage
hepatic Stage
the first fully developed organ in the fetus, becomes the major site of T cell production.
thymus
major site of production of B cell
Kidney and spleen
In what phase does production of megakartocytes begin?
hepatic phase
In what phase does fetal hemoglobin (Hb F) is the predominant hemoglobin, but detectable lvels of adult hemoglobin (Hb A) may be present.
Hepatic phase
prior to the fifth month development, hematopoiesis begins in the bone marrow cavity, this transition is called
Medullary (Myeloid phase
Where does Medullary hematopoiesis occur?
Medulla or inner part of the bone
What phase does HSCs and mesenchymal cells migrate into the core of the bone.
medullary phase
By the end of 24 weeks of gestation, what is now the primary site of hematopoiesis?
Bone marrow
Hematopoietic activity, especially myeloid activity is apparent during this stage of development, and the myeloid-to-erythroid ratio gradually approaches 3:1 (adult level)
Myeloid Phase
