Q

Hematopoiesis

A

start in the bone marrow as pluripotent stem cells the differentiate (erythrocytic, granulocytic, megakaryocytic, or agranulocytic) and are released into peripheral circulation

whole blood is composed of fluids and cells
plasma=fluid protein
cells=erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes

Q

Blood Cells

A

constantly produced
finite life span, must be replaced
life span differs by cell type and species
change as aging occurs

Q

pluripotent stem cells

A

can develop into any type of blood cell or platelet
influenced by cytokines (chemical messengers)
over 25 different cytokines
primarily cytokine for RBC production=erythropoietin (produced in kidneys)

Q

Erythropoietin (EPO)

A

cytokine responsible for production of RBCs
produced by cells in kidney to decrease oxygen tension in blood
EPO circulates in the blood to the red bone marrow
binds to receptors on erythroid precursor cells, causing them to divide and mature
