Erythropoiesis Flashcards
the process of rbc production
erythropoiesis
rbc production normally occurs in?
bone marrow
adult hematopoiesis production sites
verterbrae, ribs, sternum, skull and proximal ends of the femur and humerus
formal name of rbc
erythrocytes
nucleated precursors in the bone marrow
erythroblast
refers to developing nucleated cells with normal appearance
normoblast
abnormal appearance (large size) of the developing nucleated cells in megaloblastic anemia
megaloblast
days required to produce a mature rbc from the BFU-E
18-21 days
the color of rbc changes when it matures, it turns from blue to _______ and then ______.
gray and pink
it is when globin production begins
pronormoblast
detectable hemoglobin occurs
basophilic normoblast
last stage in which the cell is capable of undergoing mitosis
polychromatic normoblast
salmon-pink color of the cytoplasm reflects nearly complete HEMOGLOBIN production
orthocromic normoblast
in polychromatic erythrocyte, it can be stained using __________ or ____________.
methylene blue or brillian cresyl blue
matured erythrocyte remains active in the circulation for how many days?
120 days
describes the dynamics of rbc production and destruction
erythrokinetics
collection of all stages of erythrocytes in the body
erythron
cells in circulation
rbc mass
promote early release of reticulocytes
erythropoietin
deliver and transport of oxygen DOES NOT REQUIRE ENERGY
erythrocyte metabolism
