Q

Do lymphocyte numbers reflect ongoing bone marrow activity?

A

No, Lymphocytes are long-lived cells and recirculate in the blood and therefore, lymphocyte numbers do not reflect ongoing bone marrow activity

Q

Hematopoietic stem cell division results in?

A

1 multipotent progenitor cell

which can become a myeloid progenitor cell or a common lymphoid progenitor cell

which then divides to become progeny cells which have the same genetic composition as the progenitor cells

Q

Retic Count

A

Measure of RBC production rate

46
Q

Erythrocyte lifespan

47
Q

Erythropoiesis Overview

A
48
Q

Polychromasia

A
  • a difference in RBC color due to reticulocytes
  • often seen as a result of increased RBC production in response to anemia
49
Q

Largest cells in the Bone Marrow?

A

Megakaryocytes

50
Q

Endomitosis

A

DNA replication without division

51
Q

Megakaryocytes Function

A

produce platelets by projecting part of its cytoplasm into a peripheral sinus by shagging off a portion of cytoplasm

52
Q

Megakaryopoiesis Progenitor

A

Megakaryoblast

53

Q

TPO AKA

A

Thrombopoietin

56
Q

thrombopoietin is produced by?

A

Hepatocytes

57
Q

Plt count and MPV

A

a measure of platelet production and also new methods to assess immature platelets

58
Q

Megakaryopoiesis Lifespan

A

10-12 days

59
Q

Megakaryopoiesis Overview

A
60
Q

Platelet regulation

A

TPO binds to platelets when there are reduced platelets, more TPO binds to megakaryoblasts to produce more platelets
