Erythrocyte Production Flashcards
Basophilia
Acidic components that attract basic stain (methylene blue)
Acidophilia
Basic components that attract acid stain
Characteristics of mature cell
- N:C ratio decreases
- Cell diameter decreases
- cytoplasm change from blue to pink
- Nuclear chromatin becomes condenser, coarser, and clumped
- Nucleoli disappear
How many days to produce an RBC from simulation of the earliest erythroid progenitor to release in Bone marrow?
18-21 days
How long does it take for the first identifiable RBC precursor to mature and be released
into the circulation?
6-7 days
N:C ratio

Located at peripheral blood
Mature erythrocyte
Howell jelly bodies are found
Orthochromatic erythroblast/Metarubricyte/Orthochromatic normoblast
