Hematopoiesis Flashcards
process of blood cell production, differentiation, and development.
Hematopoiesis
Hematopoietic system consists of:
●bone marrow
●liver
●spleen
●lymph nodes
●thymus
proliferation and differentiation of red blood cells
Erthyropoiesis
development of whute blood cells
Leukopoiesis
Development of platelets
Thrombopoiesis
the foundation of the adult hematopoietic system
Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HCSs)
Three types of Human Stem Cells
- Totipotential stem cells
- Puripotential stem cells
- Multipotential stem cells
●cells present in the first few hours after an ovum is fertilized.
●versatile type and can develop into any human cell type, including development from embryo into fetus
Totipotential stem cells
●cells are present several days after fertilization.
●can develop any cell type, except into a fetus
Pluripotential stem cells
●cells derived from pluripotent stem cells.
●found in adults, but limited to specific types of cells to form tisues
Multipotential Stem Cells
Yolk sac phase
Mesoblastic
Liver phase
Hepatic
Bone marrow phase
myeloid
3rd week of gestation, these cells aggregate into cluster of cells known as “blood island”
Mesoblastic Period
This phase occurs intravascularly, or within a developing blood vessel. it remains active until 8-12 weeks of gestation.
