a. non-nucleated blood cells that is a successor cell of metamegakaryocyte
b. nucleated blood cells that triggers primary hemostasis upon exposure to subendothelial collagen
c. non-nucleated blood cells that is not a successor cell of metamegakaryocyte
d. none of the above
c. non-nucleated blood cells that is not a successor cell of metamegakaryocyte
Platelet arise from unique bone marrow cells called ____________
Megakaryocyte
All of the following are true about megakaryocyte EXCEPT:
a. large cells with lobated nuclei; diploid
b. responds the growth factor thrombopoietin
c. large cells with multilobated nuclei; polyploid
d. recruited from common myeloid progenitors
a. large cells with lobated nuclei; diploid
what transription gene product and its cofactor that influence megakaryocyte progenitor from common myeloid progenitor
GATA-1, regulated by cofactor FOG1
megakaryocyte differentiation is suppressed by another transcription gene product: ____
MYB
T/F. GATA-1 and MYB work together to balance the megakaryocytopoiesis in one arm and erythropoiesis in another arm
False. opposition
State the 3 megakaryocyte lineage-commited progenitor stages that arise from common myeloid progenitor
- BFU-meg (Burst-forming unit)
- CFU-Meg (Colony-Forming unit)
- LD-CFU-Meg (Low Density …)
which of the three megakaryocyte lineage that loses its capacity to divide but continues to replicate DNA and mature its cytoplasm?
Low Density-Colony-Forming unit Mergakaryocyte
T/F. 3 megakaryocyte lineage resembles lymphocyte that can be distinguished by Wright-stained light microscopy
False. cannot be distinguished
a form of mitosis that does not separate into daughter cells
Endomitosis
what transcription factor that mediates the switch from mitosis to endomitosis?
RUNX1
What transcription factor that still proceeds DNA replication during endomitosis?
NF-E2
A series of stages which can be recognized on Wright-stained bone marrow smears or H&E stained bone marrow biopsy slides
Terminal differentiation
What megakaryocyte stage that has plasma membrane blebs?
Megakaryoblast
what megakaryocyte stage where it begins to develop most of its cytoplasmic ultrastructure including: alpha granules, dense granules and demarcation system
Megakaryoblast
T/F. the DMS is biologically identical to the megakaryocyte plasma membrane and ultimately delineates the individual platelets during thrombopoiesis
true
what megakaryocytic stage that reaches its full ploidy level by the end of the stage
Promegakaryocyte
what megakaryocytic stage wherein DMS is fully developed by the end of this stage
promegakaryocyte
