Hematopoeisis Flashcards
early embryo/fetus blood cell formation occurs in
yolk sac mesoderm- liver and spleen
bone ossification begins at
2 months genstation
marrow is primary blood forming organ at
7 months gestation
red bone marrow
active
flat bones and ends of long bones
yellow marrow
inactive, mainly adipose
capillary type in marrow
sinusoidal
blood flow path in bones
nutrient artery central longitudinal a radial a cortical capillaries medullar sinus/sinusoidal cap central sinus emissary vein
blood cells come from
pluripotent stem cells
2 lineages from pluripotent stem cell
lymphoid–> lymphocytes
myeloid–> all other blood cells
colony forming units of lymphoid lineage
b cell
T cell
CFU of myeloid
erythrocyte
megakakryocyte
granulocyte/monocyte
erythropoeisis
RBC production
reticulocyte
immature RBC that still has some organelles
reticulocytosis
increased number of reticulocytes in circulation gblood
factors influencing RBC production
erythropoeitin
B12 and intrinsic factor
folate
iron
