Hematopoiesis Flashcards
Continuous, regulated process of blood cell production. These processes result in the formation, development, and specialization of all of the functional blood cells that are released from the bone marrow to the circulation
Hematopoiesis
Chief site of mesoblastic period
Yolk sac
2nd week of fetal life of mesoblastic period
Formation of blood islands in yolk sac, aggregation of primitive cells
9th week fetal life of mesoblastic period
Development of primitive erythroblast
Produces Hb
Primitive erythroblast
2 epsilon and 2 zeta
Gower 1
2 alpha and 2 epsilon
Gower 2
2 zeta and 2 gamma
Portland
Hepatic period starts on what month
2nd month
Chief site of hepatic period
Liver
Chief site for medullary/myeloid period
Red bone marrow
Medullary/myeloid period starts on the
5th month of fetal life
Only site of erythropoiesis, myelopoiesis and thrombopoiesis
Bone marrow
Develops in the embryo by the hollowing out of the skeletal forming a central cavity
Bone marrow
Site of blood cell development
Red marrow
Ratio of red marrow to yellow marrow
Indirect representation of marrow activity and is expressed as marrow cellularity
Increase number of cells per volume of tissue
Hyperplasia
Primary functions of spleen
Lymphopoiesis and phagocytosis
Acts as a filter to remove foreign blood contaminants
Lymph nodes
Responsible for normal development of some of the lymphocyte
Thymus gland
Found in birds with possible analogous tissue to man
Bursa fabricus
Major regulator of eryhtropoiesis, stimulates erythroid CFU cells and proerythroblasts
Erythropoietin
Increases platelet production, stimulates megakaryocyte CFU cells
Thrombopoietin
Increases production of neutrophils, stimulates granulocyte macrophae CFU Cells
Granulocyte CSF
