Hematopoiesis Flashcards
Stem cells characteristics
may proliferate extremely well
self-renewing
may differentiate into several (at least 2) different cell-Types
may reconstitute tissues after injury
What does Totipotent
Cells give rise to all cells of an organism, including embryonic and extraembryonic tissues (cells which support embryonic development).
Is a zygote totipotent
yes
What is pluripotent
Pluripotent cells give rise to all cells fo the embryo and subsequently adult tissues (embryonic stem cells)
Are embryonic stem cells totipotent, pluripotent, or multipotent
pluripotent
What is multipotent
Multipotent cells give rise to different cell types of a given lineage (adult stem cells).
Embryonic stem cells are derived from
Inner-Cell mass of blastocyst
Embryonic stem cells may be induced from ____ tissues
adult
Adult stem cells are harvested from
mature organs/tissues (bone marrow)
Adult stem cells are totipotent, pluripotent, or multipotent
multipotent
What limitations do adult stem cells have vs. embryonic stem cells
more restricted ability to produce different cell types and to self-renew
At 2-8 weeks of gestation islands of hematopoiesis (blood islands) are found in the ______
Yolk sac wall
at 208 weeks of gestation the islands of hematopoiesis (blood islands) in the yolk sac wall give rise to
nucleated erythrocytes
Do leukocytes form during 2-8 weeks of gestation
No
During 8-28 weeks of gestation hematopoiesis first occurs in the ___ and then the ____
liver and then the spleen
Hematopoiesis in the liver and spleen ceases around the time of
Birth
when does hematopoiesis begin to occur in the red bone marrow
6 months gestation to birth and beyond
At birth all the bone marrow is
Red marrow
Red bone marrow is the source of
all blood cells
Prior to puberty red bone marrow is located in
skull, ribs, sternum, vertebrae, clavicles, pelvis, long bones
After puberty red bone marrow is located in
Skull, ribs, sternum, verebrae, clavicles, and pelvis
In time, most of marrow is converted to _____ marrow, and red marrow is usually restricted to _____ and _____
yellow, sternum, iliac crests
What is extramedullary hematopoiesis
in certain disease states, blood cell formation may occur in liver and spleen
The stroma contains what kind of cells
fibroblasts, reticular cells, adipose cells, and endothelial cells
The stroma synthesizes and secretes
Hematopoietic growth factors
The parenchyma consists of
Various lineages of hematopoietic cells in different stages of differentation
What are sinusoids
endothelial-lined spaces that connect arterial and venous vessels
What is the function of sinusoids
provides access for mature blood cells to move into the circulation
What hematopoietic cords
Bands of parenchyma and stroma lying between the sinusoids
What is the total percent of granulocytopoiesis
60%
What is the percentage of erythrocytopoieis
30%
What is the percentagge of thrombocytopoiesis, monocytopoiesis, lymphocytopoiesis
10%
What is Myeloid/erythroid ratio
total volume of cells in granulocytopoiesis/ total volume of cells in erythrocytopoiesis
What is the normal myeloid/erythroid ratio
3:1
What is the ratio of myeloid/erythroid that is an example of chronic myelogenous leukemia
8:1
What is the ratio of myeloid/erythroid that shows a polycythemia
1:5
Granulocyte-macrophage CFU can become what
macrophages and neutrophils
Mature blood cells migrate from the _________through the sinusoidal endothelial walls into the sinusoids
Hematopoietic cords
___________ (site of platelet production) are too large to translocate and must remain in the stroma
Megakaryocytes
Hematopoietic stem cells are pluripotent and commiteed to what two stem cell lineages
myeloid or lymphoid stem cell lineages
Can hematopoietic stem cells self-renew
yes
Hematopoietic stem cells produce two kinds of ________ precursor cells, and what are they
multipotential, myeloid stem cell, lymphoid stem cell
