hematopoeisis Flashcards
what is the most common site of hematopoiesis at 4 months gestation?
liver
How many RBCs are present in the average 70kg man?
25 trillion
We start with a blast forming unit which then gives rise to?
colony forming unit
colony forming units amplify to form
mature cells
hematopoiesis (3 broad things)
RBCs megakaryocytes (platelets) WBCs - granulocytes - monocytes/macrophages -lymphocytes
multipotent hematopoietic stem cell can give rise to one of two things
myeloid stem cell
lymphoid stem cell
can myeloid stem cell self renew?
no but can still differentiate
myeloid stem cell can give rise to? (4)
megakaryoblast
proerythroblast
myeloblast
monoblast
megakaryoblast gives rise to
megakaryocyte - platelet
porerythroblast ->
reticulocyte - erythrocyte
myeloblast –>
BEN
monoblast –>
monocyte - macrophage
lymphoid stem cell –>
lymphoblast –>
lymphoblast –> (2)
NK cill
Small lymphcyte –> T an B - plasma
growth factor for neutrophils?
G-CSF
Growth factor for erythropoeisis
EPO
Erythropoisis time in
BM
2-7 days
erythropoesis time in periphery?
retic - 2-3 days
RBC 120
erythropoesis mitotic divisions in BM
3-5
Effects of EPO? (4)
Increase retic release
increase HgB levels
Increase mitosis/maturation
Increase stem cell activation
