process of RBC formation
Erythropoiesis
total mass of RBCs circulating in the peripheral blood AND the bone marrow RBC precursors
Erythron
erythrocytes in the circulation
RBC mass
term that describes the dynamics of RBC creation and destruction
Erythrokinetics
production of defective erythroid precursor cells
Ineffective erythropoiesis
Immature hematopoietic cell that is committed to a cell line but cannot identified morphologically
Progenitor cells
Immature hematopoietic cell that is morphological identifiable as belonging to a given cell lines
Precursor cells
Earliest marker of Erythroid differentiation;Transferrin receptors
CD71
chief stimulatory cytokine for RBCs
Erythropoietin
Erythropoietin primary cell source:
Peritubular interstitial cells (Kidneys)
Erythropoietin primary target cells
BFU-E, CFU-E
