bone marrow.
Blood formation occurs mainly where
Bone marrow
When does bone marrow Blood formation start
4th month IUL
How is blood formed in 1-3 weeks of IUL
yolk sac:
I’m the 4th week , where is blood formation
Liver
For how long is blood formed in the liver and partly spleen
4th week up till 4th month
When is blood formed in the bone marrow only
From 6th and 7th month
For how long do all bones form blood
Form the 7th month of IUL ot 24 months afer birth;
When does blood formation begin to Decrease from some bones in the body
2nd year
What bones form blood throughout life
bone of base of skull,
ribcage,
the Vertebral column,
shoulder girdle
pelvic girdles:
When does blood formation at long bones greatly reduce
18 years
What’s a bone marrow
the tissue that occupies the space between opposing endosteal surfaces of a cavity bone.
What’s the structure. within hte
bone marow.that’sresponsible for formation of blood
‘Hematopoietic Inductive :Microenvironment”’: (HIM)
What blood vessels bring anterial blood to the bone
Nutrient artery
Explain the process by which nutrient artery becomes emissary artery
NUTRIENT. ARTERY. Thsi artery pierces the bone in the nutrient artery canal. It then becomes hte medullaRy aftery, when the
artery enters into the marows space by dividing; into. ascencing/descending artery
medulany artery gives branches that traverse hte space of the bone marow. Theyare caled ThANSVERSE arteries- It pierced the endosteal surface to enter the bone cortex. Within the bone cortex, the
transverse artery pierced the haversion canal, and runs as haversian capillary .This haversion capillary supples oxygen to the cortical cells of the bone
The haversian capillary also turns: back into the bone marows! On entering the bone marow, it baloons out to form the bone marrow. sinussids: the blood si flowing: in the bone marow sinusoid and that blood comes to colect in the medullary vein (parallel to the medulary artery): The medulary vein collects and leaves the bone marow in the Emissary vein!
Where are HIM found
Wishing the bone marrow sinusoids
What forms the bone marrow sinusoids
The Haversian capillaries that turn into the bone marrow. And balloons our to form a sinusoid
How does Haversian capillary come about
When the transverse artery pierced the endosteal surface of the bone, to enter the bone cortex and enters the Haversian canal, it becomes the Haversian capillary

Pluripotent stet cells
What are the 2 important properties of a stem cell
•Capable of cell division resulting in self renewal
•Capable of mitotic cell division accompanied with differentiation
What does the pluripotent stem cell become
It either divides to become more pluripotent stem cells
Or it divides to become myeloid committed stem cell and lymphoid commuted stem cell
What is a progenitor cell
They are commited to a hemopoetic lineage but have no microscopic or morphological identity
What are precursor cells
They are committed to a given hematopoietic lineage and are morphological identifiable
How is myeloid commited stem cell divided and why
It can divide into more myeloid committed stem cells or can discuss into BFUe, BFUmk, Highly proliferative potential CFC (HPPCFC)
This is because it’s also a stem cell
How do BFU ,mkBFU, and HPPCFC divide and why
They divide and mature
Because they are not stem cells
What time of cells are BFU and CFU
Progenitor cells
They both are morphologically unidentifiable

Larder cell with large circular nucleus and thin cytoplasm
What’s the most distinguishing feature of the proerythroblast
Perfect circularity of nucleus

(Little difference between them)
What does Basophilic erythroblast divide to become
Polychromatic erythroblast
Describe the nucleus and cytoplasm of the polychromatic erythroblast
Also has a coin circular nucleus but the nucleus is much smaller and the cytoplasm is much bigger

The mix of color in the cytoplasm of the polychromatic erythroblast (bluish and reddish)
What’s the difference between -cyte and -blast
-cyte : Nucleus is absent
-blast : Nucleus is present
What’s the change in cells and cytoplasm as we go down from proerythroblast to orthocromic erythroblast
The cytoplasm becomes bigger and
The cells becomes smaller
What does polychromatic erythroblast divide to become
Orthochromic erythroblast
What are the characteristics of the orthochromic erythroblast

What does the orthochromatic erythroblast become
Erythrocyte (annucleated)
How does the annucleated erythrocytes leave the HIM
By piercing through the ablumimal surface cells and the endothelial cells and joins the circulation
How does the erythrocytes leave the bone marrow
Through the emissary veins
What does the newly escaped erythrocyte contain
remants of endoplasmic reticulmm matertals and mitochondria in the cytoplasm:
Others are non-compledely removed nuclear and ribosomal materials
All these materials are removed when the erythrocyte reaches spleen.
How long after the erythrocyte leaves the bone marrow does the spleen remove all the remnant organelles in the erythrocyte
Approx 48 hours
What happens to the mature erythrocyte after the leaving the spleen
Leaves the spleen to circulate in the blood for 100-120 days
What is the reticulocyte and why is it called that
The erythrocytes that leave the bone marrow because it still have remnant organelles
When does reticulocyte stop being reticulocyte
After it leaves the spleen, it’s now a mature erythrocyte instead because it has no remnant organelle again
What’s the main function of the erythroid cells in the body
Reversible carriage and transfer of O2
Why can the RBC participate in the buffer system of the body
Because Hb has buffering capacity for human body
How can erythroid cells help in detoxification of the body
it complexes with poisonous gases such as carbon monoxide as Hb complexes with CO to form “carbon Mono-oxyhemoglobin”
What happens when the level of poisonous gases in the blood becomes too much
reversible oxygen carriage becomes problematic
How many mitotic divisions between proerythroblast and othrochromatic erythroblasts
4
Why can’t the orthochromatic erythroblast divide
Because the nucleus has become pyknotic and can only be removed
How many erythrocytes are yielded from one proerythroblast
16
What happens when there is insufficient DNA material for replication
Leads to
-Fail in mitosis
-Lesser number of mitotic stages
-Reduced no orthochromatic erythroblast and erythrocytes
-Each daughter erythrocytes will be bigger in size
What’s the disease called when there is insufficient material for DNA replication
MACROCYTIC/ MEGALOBLASTIC ANEMIA
Reduced RBC in circulation but cell size is bigger
What is megaloblastic anemia
Reduced RBC in circulation but fell size is big
Due to insufficient material for DNA replication
What is cytoplasmic nuclear synchrony
The type of maturation where the cytoplasm becomes bigger but the nucleus becomes smaller
(Occurs in normal maturation sequence of the erythroid)
What is Cytoplasmic Nuclear Asynchrony
A situation where the nucleus is unable to replicate/mature (divide into smaller divisions) but the cytoplasm is still maturing (getting hemoglobinised and bigger)
What is an erythroid blast with features of cytoplasmic nuclear asynchrony called
Megalobalst
What happens when the material for nuclear replication is available BUT not material for cytoplasm maturation (lacking in Hb synthesis)
Microcytic anemia
What happens in microcytic anemia
Due to lack of maturation of cytoplasm but continual maturation of nucleus
-The No of mitotic division between pro and orthochromatic erythroblast increases
-Instead of having 16 cells , they MIGHT end up being 32 cell
-They are smaller in size
-And are called microcytes
The microcytic and megaloblast Anemia are diseases of what and what
Microcytic anemia : Disease of the synthesis of haemoglobin
MEGALOBLASTIC anemia: Disease of the replication nucleus
