Hematopoiesis Flashcards
Overview of Hematopoiesis in the bone marrow Stem cells Erythroid and Myeloid precursors Megakaryocytes Development of cells in the bone marrow Function and morphology of mature cells in the peripheral blood
The study of blood
Hematology
Phases of development of blood cells
Mesoblastic
Hepatic
Medullary
During this period, hematopoiesis is majorly mesoblastic
3-5weeks
Organ primarily responsible for hematopoiesis during the mesoblastic phase
Yolk sac
During this period, hematopoiesis is majorly hepatic
4-6(8) weeks
These (2) organs are the sites of hematopoiesis during the hepatic phase
Liver, Spleen
During this period, hematopoiesis is mejorly medullary
Bone marrow
Phases aka extramedullary phases
Mesoblastic, Hepatic
True or False:
In the mesoblastic phase, hematopoiesis also occurs in the placenta
True
WBC and Platelets are first formed during this phase of hematopoiesis
Hepatic Phase
Active form of bone marrow
Red marrow
Yellow marrow is for the storage of which tissue?
adipose
(N) Myeloid:Erythroid ratio
3:1
Organ responsible for the storage of vitamins and minerals necessary for the formation of DNA and RNA
Liver
The largest lymphoid organ
Spleen
