Extramedullary Hematopoiesis Flashcards
Blood cell production in hematopoietic tissue other than the bone marrow
Extramedullary Hematopoiesis
Principally occurs in liver and spleen (just like in fetus) lymph nodes and thymus
Extramedullary Hematopoiesis
mediate the progenitors and binding to stroma
Proteoglycan or glycosaminoglycans
Enumerate the Adhesion molecules:
o Fibronectin
o Collagen
o Laminin
o Hemonectin
o Thrombospondin
develop during Second trimester
LIVER
Major site of blood cell production during the hepatic stage
LIVER
Storing essential mineral and vitamins that are used in synthesis of DNA and RNA
LIVER
T/F. Liver synthesizing various transport proteins
True
Conjugating bilirubin from
hemoglobin degradation
degradation product of hemoglobin
Stercobilin, urobilin, urochrome
Transporting bilirubin to the small intestine for eventual excretion via
stool and urine
Liver has __ lobes
