Hematopoiesis Flashcards
What day/week does the hematopoiesis begin?
19th day or 2nd week of embryologic development
It lines the cavity of the yolk sac arise from mesodermal cells.
Primitive erythroblast
The remaining cells surrounding the cavity of the yolk sac and form the future blood vessels.
Angioblasts
A continuous, regulated process of blood cell production that includes cell renewal, proliferation, differentiation, and maturation.
Hematopoiesis
Primary site of Mesoblastic phase.
Yolk sac
What are the measurable amounts of hgb produced by primitive erythroblast?
Hgb portland, Gower-1, and Gower-2
The hepatic phase of hematopoiesis begins at what day/weeks?
4-5th gestational weeks or 2nd month
In this stage, the developing erythroblast signal the beginning of definitive hematopoiesis with a decline in primitive hematopiesis.
Hepatic phase
What is the major site of hematopoiesis during the 3rd month?
Liver
First fully developed organ in fetus, becomes the major site of T-cell production.
Thymus
Organ that produces B-cells?
Kidney and Spleen
The production of megakaryocytes, erythroblast, granulocytes, monocytes, lymphoid cells, hgb F, A and A2 begin during this phase.
Hepatic phase
Lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and kidney contribute during this phase.
Extra hepatic hematopoiesis
Other name for Mesoblastic phase.
Yolk sac phase or Mesenchymal stage
These are aggregates of primitive cell.
