Erythropoiesis Flashcards
stored iron
ferritin
component of hemoglobin that produces pigment and transports O2 to tissues and CO2 from tissues
heme
It is needed for for DNA synthesis and may cause megaloblastic anemia.
Folic acid
glycoprotein hormone secreted by the kdineys
(peritubular cells)
erythropoietin
first human hematopoietic growth factor to be identified
erythropoietin
initiates RBC production
erythropoietin
True or False:
Hypoxia can be detected by peritubular fibroblasts of kidney
True
transcription factor in erythrokinesis
Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1
part of Erythroid Islands which stands as
RBC anchorage to extracellular matrix
fibronectin
How many mitotic dividions are needed for pronormoblast to become polychromatophilic normoblast?
2-4 mitotic divisions
Chronologically enumerate the developmental stages of erythropoiesis.
- Rubriblast/ Proerythroblast /Pronormoblast
- Prorubricyte/ Basophilic normoblast
- Rubricyte/ Polychromatophilic normoblast
- Metarubricyte/ Orthochromic normoblast
- Reticulocyte/ Polychromatophilic erythrocyte
- Mature erythrocyte/ Mature RBC
Identify the developmental stage.
cytoplasm: perinuclear halo, prominent Golgi bodies, no granules
Rubriblast
Pronormoblast
Identify the developmental stage.
produce proteins and enzymes for iron uptake
Rubriblast
Pronormoblast
Identify the developmental stage.
Hb synthesis occurs and large amount of mRNA
Prorubricyte
Basophilic normoblast
Identify the developmental stage.
cytoplasm has tinge of pink and its division is the last mitotic stage with 3 daughter cells
Rubricyte
Polychromatophilic normoblast
