Hematopoiesis Flashcards
Identify the blood cells in the image
- Erythrocytes (RBC)
- Granulocytes Neutrophils Eosinophils Basophils
- Agranulocytes Lymphocytes Monocytes
- Platelets (cell fragments)
Location of hematopoiesis during development
- Yolk sac – hemangioblasts, progenitors of hematopoietic & endothelial cells
- Bone marrow – becomes the primary site of hematopoiesis starting at the seventh month of intrauterine life

What is this a section of
Bone marrow section
Erythropoietin
(EPO) produced mainly in the kidneys
– Induced by hypoxia
Major generic growth factors:
- GM-CSF (myeloid cells)
- IL7 (lymphoid cells)
- IL-3 (granulocyte) Specific growth factors
- Thrombopoietin
- Erythropoietin
- IL-5
Committed precursors:
CD34+ (used for transplantation)
Hematopoietic stem cells:
0.05% of total hematopoietic cells (106 – 107 cells)
