Hematopoiesis and benign conditions Flashcards
HSC
during 3rd month migrate to liver
also take up residence in fetal placenta (can be harvested)
by 4th month reside in marrow
after puberty hematopoiesis restricted to axial skeleton
GFs of very early committed progenitors
Stem cell factor (KitL)
FLT3-L
GFs of committed progenitors
erythropoietin
GM-CSF
G-CSF
Thrombopoietin
Bone Marrow
thin walled sinusoids
lined by single layer of endothelium
discontinuous BM and adventitial cells
hematopoietic cells and fat cells 1:1
megakaryocytes
lie next to sinusoids and extend cytoplasmic processes that bud off into blood stream
nurse cells
surround RBC precursors
are specialized macrophages
leukoerythroblastosis
process which disrupts architecture of marrow causing abnormal release of immature precursors into periphery
sequence of RBC production
proerythroblasts -> basophilic erythroblast -> polychromatophilic erythroblast -> nucleated red cells -> reticulocyte -> mature erythrocytes
proerythroblast
large round cell
mild basophilia
only in marrow
basophilic erythroblast
smaller
deeply basophilic
only in marrow
polychromatophilic erythroblast
basophilic ribosomes
eosinophilic cyto
only in marrow
nucleated red cells
should only in marrow
normal MCV
80-100
RBC normal
- 1-5 men
3. 5-5 women
normal platelets
150-450
normal WBC
4.8-10.8
granulocytes 40-70%
