25
Q

Sinusoids

A

Wide, thin-walled vessels that allow newly formed blood cells to access the blood stream

26
Q

Cells in the stroma

A

Fibroblasts, macrophages, fat-storing cells, osteogenic cells

27
Q

Fibroblasts

A

Produce collagenous fibers and reticular fibers (type III collagen) found in medullary cavity.

28
Q

Macrophage function

A

Engulf and destroy imperfect RBCs, pieces from developing RBCs and platelets. Phagocytose particulate matter in sinusids by extending processes between endothelial cells of sinusoids

29
Q

Fat-storing cells

A

Mainly in yellow marrow, but also in red marrow

30
Q

Osteogenic cells

A
  1. Potential to differntiate into osteoblast.

2. Can cause bone marrow precursor cells to locate in medullary cavity of bones

31
Q

Endothelial cells

A

Form sinusoid lining

32
Q

Collagenous fibers in the stroma

A
  1. Support larger vessels in medullary cavity

2. Reinforce tissue as a whole

33
Q

Reticular fibers in the stroma

A

Support blood forming cells

34
Q

How do RBC and WBCs enter sinusoids

A

Through diapedesis, passing through sinusoidal wall using intercellular gaps or endothelial cell pores

35
Q

Erythropoietin location, formation, and function

A
  1. Produced in kidney and other site
  2. Formulation stimulated by hypoxia
  3. Increases # of erythroblasts by stimulating the stem cells to multiply and differentiate
36
Q

Erythropoiesis general features

A
  1. Cytoplasm: basophilic to eosinophilic and progressively decreases in size. Nucleus:large to small to absent, light staining to dark staining, chromatin: fine pattern to clumped pattern
37
Q

Approx. how much time to produce mature erythrocyte from a basophilic erythroblasts

A

Approximately 1 wk

38
Q

Proerythroblast (blast cell)

A
  • Nucleus: round, one or more nucleoi
  • Cytoplasm: basophilic (due to ribosomes and polyribosomes)
  • Mitotic cell
39
Q

Basophilic erythroblast

A
  • Nucleus: round, chromatin condensed, checkerboard pattern
  • Cytoplasms: basophilic (more than blast cell), ribosomes (for more cell subtance synthesis) and polyribosomes (for Hb synthesis)
  • Mitotic cell
40
Q

Polychromatophilic erythroblast

A
  • Nucleus: round and smaller, more clumped, no nucleolo
  • Cytoplasm: blue to pink (decreased ribosomes, increased hemoglobin)
  • Mitotic cell
41
Q

Orthrochromatophilic erythroblast

A

-Nucleus: pyknotic (heterochromatic)
-Karyorrhexis occurs (extrusion of the nucleus occurs)
-Cytoplasm: Eosinophilic (because of Hb)
Not mitotic

42
Q

Reticulocyte or orthochromatophilic erythroblast

A

-Identified with cresyl violet (see RNA reticular pattern)

43
Q

Granulopoiesis general features

A
  • Cytoplasm: from basophilic to lack of basophilic staining, granules increase in #
  • Nucleus: goes from round to polymorphonuclear, nucleoli present in immature cells, then gradually disappear
44
Q

Development time for granulocytes

A

About 14 days

45
Q

Amount of time granulocytes circulate in blood

A

About 6-10 hours

46
Q
