Hematopoiesis Flashcards
1
Q
fetal hematopoiesis occurs in
A
- yolk sac
- liver
- spleen
- bone
young liver synthesizes blood
2
Q
where does hematopoiesis occur in adults
A
- axial skeleton
- proximal long bones
3
Q
essential components of hematopoiesis
A
- stem cells
- stromal
- growth factors
4
Q
stromal
A
- fat cells
- macrophages
- endothelial cells
- fibroblasts
5
Q
what do non-lineage specific growth factors act on
A
- pluripotent and multipotent stem cells
- to initiative self-renewal and differentiation
6
Q
non-lineage specific growth factors examples
A
- IL-3
- GM-CSF
7
Q
what do lineage specific growth factors act on
A
- committed progenitor cells involved in differentiation and maturation of blood cells
8
Q
lineage specific growth factors examples
A
- G-CSF
- M-CSF
- IL-5
- EPO
- TPO
9
Q
self renewal
A
- proliferate to produce more stem cells
10
Q
differentiation
A
- produce highly specialized mature cell types
- then produce more developmentally restricted cells (progenitor cells)
11
Q
multipotent cell
A
- can differentiate into lymphoid cells or myeloid cells
12
Q
lymphoid cell examples
A
- dendritic cells
- B cell
- T cell
- NK cell
13
Q
myeloid cell examples
A
- neutrophil
- macrophage
- eosinophil
- basophil
- mast cell
14
Q
progenitor cels
A
- committed to a cell lineage
15
Q
precursor cels
A
- develop into mature cells of the various cell types
- exhibit morphological characteristics specific to their lineage
