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
Increases macrophage production, stimulates granulocyte-macrophage CFU cells
Granulocyte-macrophage CSF
Stimulate B and T cell formation, function together with G-CSF and GM-CSF
Interleukins
Producing blood cells of all lineages; capable of self renewal (embryonal stem cell)
Pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell
Producing cells of multiple lineages; limited self renewal(myeloid and lymphoid)
Multipotent HSC
Producing cells of one lineage, colony forming units(erythroid CFU, granulocyte-macrophage CFU)
Committee progenitor
Gives rise to all formed elements
Hemocytoblasts
The developmental pathway consists of three phases:
Ribosome synthesis
Hb accumulation
Ejection of the nucleus from normoblasts and formation of reticulocytes
Size of Pronormoblast
12-25 um in diameter
Other name of Pronormoblast
Rubriblast and Proerythroblast
Cytoplasm of Pronormoblast
Deeply basophilic
Relatively small amount
Perinuclear halo
Nucleus of Pronormoblast
Large, round to sl oval
Reddish purple
1-3 nucleoli
1% of nucleated cells in bone
Pronomoblast
Other name of Basophilic Normoblast
Prorubricyte and Basophilic Erythroblast
Size of basophilic normoblast
12-17 um in diameter
Nucleus of Basophilic normoblast
Relatively large Round to sl oval Coarser chromatin Indistinct nucleoli Occupies 75% of the cell
1-3% nucleated cells of bone marrow
Basophilic Normoblast
Other name of Polychromatophilic Normoblast
Rubricyte
Polychromatophilic Erythroblast
Size of Polychromatophilic Normoblast
12-15 um in diameter
Cytoplasm of Polychromatophilic Normoblast
Blue-gray to pink gray ( production of hemoglobin)
