Hematopoiesis Flashcards
What are the two compartments within the bone marrow
Vascular & hematopoietic
What do adventitial cells (reticular cells) secrete?
Hematopoietic growth factors, produce reticular fibers
Which cells does the common lymphoid progenitor give rise to?
T, NK, and B cells
Which cells does the common myeloid progenitor give rise to?
Platelets, RBCs, Neutrophiles, Eos, Bas
Which phase of hematopoiesis occurs during 2 to 8 weeks gestation
Mesoblastic or yolk sac
What kind of erythrocytes are formed during the yolk sac phase?
Nucleated
When does the hepatic phase occur?
2 to 7 months intrauterine
What erythrocytes are produced during the hepatic phase?
Anucleate erythrocytes followed by megakaryocytes and granulocytes
When does the splenic phase occur?
10th week to 6-7 months intrauterine
When does the bone marrow phase occure?
6 months intrauterine until death
Site of active hematopoiesis
red marrow
When does yellow marrow begin to replace red marrow?
after 4-5 years of age
Site of less active hematopoiesis
Yellow marrow
The way in which adventitial cells regulate their size
Regulating lipolysis
After age 20 where are sites of active hematopoiesis?
Sternum, ilia, vertebral bodies, ribs, clavicles, cranial bones, and proximal ends of the femur and humerus
What is the purpose of reticular fibers in the hematopoietic compartment?
Form a mesh around the areas of blood cell formation, (mechanical support)
