hema: hematopoiesis, hemocytometer and quality control Flashcards
Deals with the study of blood, blood-forming
organs and blood diseases.
Hematology
Specialized body fluids that deliver
necessary substances such as nutrients and
oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic
waste products away from the same cells.
blood
Process of cellular formation, proliferation,
differentiation and maturation of blood cells.
Hematopoiesis
Organs and tissue areas in which blood cell
production or regulation occur
Hematopoietic tissues
areas included in fetal hematopoiesis in Hematopoietic tissues
spleen, lymphatic tissues and bone marrow
stages of hematopoiesis
mesoblastic, hepatic, & myeloid stages
the primary site/s of hematopoiesis in mesoblastic stage
blood islands of the yolk sac of the human embryo
(as early as 19th day of gestation)
Blood Cells formed in mesoblastic stage
Erythroblasts
first blood cells formed by the first month of embryonic
life
erythroblasts
Embryonic hemoglobin are formed:
- Gower I-2 zeta chains and 2 epsilon chains
- Portland- 2 zeta chains and 2 gamma chains
- Gower II- 2 alpha chains and 2 epsilon
chains
primary site/s of hematopoiesis in hepatic stage
Fetal Liver
Blood cells formed in hepatic stage
- erythrocytes still in production
- granulocytes and megakaryocytes:
3rd month of gestation - lymphocytes: 4th month of gestation
- monocytes: 5th month of gestation
what begin a limited role as
secondary lymphoid organs in mid fetal life
spleen and lymph node
fetal hemoglobin is produced during ___
4th month of gestation
also in hepatic stage
HbF- 2 alpha chains and 2 gamma chains
primary site/s of hematopoiesis in myeloid stage
bone
marrow
adult hemoglobins are produced in myeloid stage
Hb-A1-2 alpha chains and 2 beta chains & Hb-A2-2 alpha chains and 2 delta chains
becomes the only site
for RBC production, granulocytes,
monocytes, platelets and B lymphocytes at birth
bone marrow
Hematopoiesis occurs in most bones but
primarily in ____
flat bones of the sternum, ribs, vertebrae, skull and pelvis
principal source of production in adult
sternum and other flat bones
major function of bone marrow
production and proliferation of blood cells
3 Major Compartments of Cell Types of Marrow
Hematopoiesis:
stem cells, Progenitor (commited) cells, and Precursor cells-blast
Known as pluripotential or multipotential cells
stem cells
Retain the ability to differentiate into any cell
line
stem cells
Referred to as colony-forming units-spleen
(CFU-S)
stem cells
stem cells can differentiate into:
- multipotential stem cells which give rise to
non-lymphocytes - Secondary multipotential stem cells which
give rise to primitive B or T lymphocytes
known as unipotential stem cells-differentiate into only one cell line(BFU,CFU-E,CFU-MEG and
CFU-GM)
Progenitor (commited) cells
forms (myeloblast, megakaryoblasts, erythroblasts)
Precursor cells-blast
what do Precursor cells-blast form
myeloblast, megakaryoblasts, erythroblasts
Primary cells, Having capability of self renewal and can differentiate into many specialized cells.
STEM CELLS
Designed to form a particular type of cell
Committed Pluripotent Hematopoietic Stem Cell or CPHSC
CPHSC give rise to 2 groups of cells
Lymphoid Stem Cells and Colony forming Blastocytes
Lymphocytes & Natural
killer cells
Lymphoid Stem Cells
Colony forming - E
Erythrocytes
Colony forming - M
Megakaryocytes
Colony forming - GM
Neutrophils, Eosinophils,
Basophils & Monocytes
Colony Forming Unit - E
● Proerythroblast
● Early normoblast
● Intermediate normoblast
● Late normoblast
● Reticulocyte
● Matured RBC
known as Erythrocytes
Red Blood Cells
shape of mature red blood cells
biconcave disks
disk size of RBC
Has a diameter of 6-8um and a thickness of
2um
amount of RBC in male
Male: 4.50-6.80 x 10^6/uL
amount of RBC in female
Female: 3.80-4.80 x 10^6/uL
lifespan of RBC
120 days
Blood cells that FIGHTS infection.
White Blood Cells
Ref. ranges of WBC
4.0 - 11.0 x 10^3
increased in WBC
Leukocytosis
decreased in WBC
Leukopenia
2 groups of WBC
Granulocytes and Agranulocytes
Normal Marrow Composition:
● 60% - granulocytes & precursors
● 20% - erythroid precursors
● 10% - Lymphocytes, Monocytes
● 10% - Unidentified or disintegrated cells
It is a technique used to enumerate the total
cell count in the BLOOD or other Biological
body fluids. This can be done either by using
a haemocytometer manually or by electronic
cell counter automatically.
Haemocytometry
hemo means?
blood
cyto means?
cells
meter means?
measurement
hemocytometer
an instrument used to count/measure the blood cell
purpose of hemocytometer
In certain pathologic conditions the value of
different types of cells may have variation.
Thus by counting the cells in the blood or
body fluids, it can be find out if an individual
is normal or not.
purpose of cell count (generally/broadly)`
● To find out normal and abnormal count of the
cell.
● To support and confirm clinical diagnosis of
the patient.
● To find out the response of the patient to the
treatment.
who invented hemocytometer?
Louis-Charles Malassez
who modified hemocytometer?
Neubauer
