Hematopoiesis Flashcards
Lines the inner walls of the blood vessels.
Simple squamous epithelial cells
What are the two theories of progenitor cells?
Monophyletic and polyphyletic
The theory that proposes that all blood cells are derived from single progenitor cells.
Monophyletic
The widely accepted theory.
Monophyletic
The pluripotential hematopoietic stem cells.
Monophyletic
Theory that suggests that all cell lineages have its own stem cell of where it came from.
Polyphyletic
The hematopoietic stem cell in the bone marrow gives rise to the two common progenitor cells: ______ and _____.
Myeloid and Lymphoid progenitor cells
Gives rise to the RBCs, platelets and WBCs (except lymphocytes) precursors.
Myeloid Progenitor
Platelets are formed through cytoplasmic fragmentation of megakaryocytes during thrombopoiesis/platelet shedding.
CFU-MegE (platelet precursor)
Platelets has no nucleus but has a part that secretes the 2 granules. What are those?
alpha and the dense granules
Gives rise to T cell, NK cell and B cell precursor.
Lymphoid Progenitor
