Hematology Flashcards
Primary regulator of erythropoiesis
Kidney
Maturation stage of RBC
Pronormoblast (rubriblast)
Basophilic normoblast (prorubricyte)
Polychromatic normoblast (rubricyte)
Orthochromic normoblast (metarubricyte)
Polychromatic erythrocyte (reticulocyte)
Mature erythrocyte
1st stage of hgb appearance
Basophilic normoblast (rubriblast)
Last stage of capable of cell division and start of hgb production
Polychromatic normoblast (rubricyte)
Last nucleated stage, pyknotic nucleus
Polychromatic normoblast (metarubricyte)
No more nucleus, reticulum of RNA
Polychromatic erythrocyte (reticulocyte)
Rbc lifespan
120 days
No. of erythrocyte produced from each pronormoblast
8-32 rbc ave. 16
It determines the survival /lifespan or rbc
Chromium
Nucleus lag
Cause:
Charac:
Ex.:
Megaloblastic
Vit. B12 or folic acid deficiency
Oval macrocyte
Pernicious anemia
Cytoplasm lags
Cause:
Charac:
IDA
Iron deficiency
Microcytic, hypochromic rbcs
General cell maturation charac for leukocytes
Immature cells
-large
-nucleoli present
-dark blue cytoplasm, rich in RNA
-high N:C ratio
Mature cells
-smaller
-nucleoli absent
-light blue cytoplasm, less RNA
- low N:C ratio
Maturation stage of Granulocyte
Myelobast
Promyelocyte
Myelocyte
Metamyelocyte (juvenile)
Band
Mature Granulocyte
Earliest recognition stage in the series
Myelobast
Appearance of primary/nonspecific/azurophilic granules
Promyelocyte
