Hematopoiesis in the 6th week of development is by __________
Liver
Hematopoiesis in the 6-8th week until 8th month of development is by ________
Spleen
Hematopoiesis after birth is by ____________
Bone marrow
Types of bone marrow
- Red bone marrow .
2. White bone marrow .
Why we call it ( red bone marrow ) ?
Due to large amount of blood and hematopoietic cells .
Why we call it ( yellow bone marrow ) ?
Due to large amount of adipose cells and absence of hematopoietic cells .
Red bone marrow histology
- Stroma .
a. Adventitial reticular cells .
b. Macrophages . - Hematopoietic cord .
- Sinusoidal capillaries .
- Adipocytes .
Sinusoidal capillaries histology
- Diameter is about 45-80um .
- Endothelial cells .
- Reticular fibers .
- Incomplete basal lamina .
The function of bone marrow
- Blood production .
- Rbc destruction .
- Immune system ( macrophages & plasma cells )
- Storage of Fe .
- Production of cytokines & growth factors .
Myeloid tissue if responsible of production of :
- Erythrocytes .
- Platelets .
- Granulocytes .
- Monocytes .
Lymphatic tissue organs
- Thymus .
- Lymph nodes .
- Spleen .
All blood cells are arise from
Hemocytoblast ( pluripotent stem cell )
Hemocytoblast description
- 15-20um in diameter .
- Deep basophilic cytoplasm ( a lot of ribosomes ) .
- Rounded or oval nucleus contain 2-5 nucleoli .
Erythropoiesis is regulated by
Erythropoietin which secreted by kidney .
