Hematopoiesis Flashcards
The process of blood cell production, differentiation, and development
Hematopoiesis
Give the 3 types of Human Stem Cells
- Totipotential stem cell
- Pluripotential stem cells
- Multipotential stem cells
The most versatile stem cell that can develop to any human cell type
Totipotential stem cell
These are cells that are present several days after fertilization, it can develop to any cell type except they cannot develop into a fetus
Pluripotential stem cells
the source of stem cells
Pluripotential stem cells
These cells are derived from pluripotent stem cells that can be found in adults but limited to specific types of cells to form tissues
Multipotential stem cells
Also known as the fetal stage
Yolk sac
Yolk sac
Mesoblastic phase
site of primitive hematopoiesis
yolk sac
begins during the first 2 to 8 weeks of life
Mesoblastic phase
What are the three embryonic hemoglobin?
Gower-1
Gower-2
Portland
The major hematopoietic organ of early and midfetal life
Liver
Hepatic phase begins at the
sixth week (2nd - 5th month)
In this phase the bone marrow becomes the primary site of hematopoiesis
Medullary (myeloid) phase
Is considered one of the body’s largest organs next to skin
Bone Marrow
