HEMATOPOIESIS & ERYTHROPOIESIS Flashcards
Classical marker of hematopoietic stem cells
CD4
Hematopoiesis considered to start around the ____ after fertilization
19th day of the embryonic development
This theory suggests that each of the blood cell linages is derived from its OWN UNIQUE stem cell
Polyphyletic theory
Suggests that each of the blood cells are derived from a SINGLE PROGENITOR stem cell called a PLURIPOTENT stem cell
Monophyletic theory
Most widely accepted theory among experimental hematologists
Monophyletic theory
3 phases of hematopoiesis
Mesoblastic/megaloblastic
Hepatic
Intramedullary/medullary/myeloid
Chief site of hematopoiesis in mesoblastic/megaloblastic phase
Yolk sac
Chief site of hematopoiesis in hepatic phase
Fetal liver
Chief site of hematopoiesis in intramedullary/medullary/myeloid phase
Bone marrow
1st blood cells in mesoblastic phase
Primitive erythroblasts
Important in early embryogenesis to produce hemoglobin (Gower-1, Gower-2 and Portland) necessary for delivery of oxygen to the embryonic tissues
Primitive erythroblasts
It differs from hematopoiesis that occurs later (fetal and adult stage) in that it occurs intravascularly
Yolk sac hematopoiesis
Predominant hemoglobin in hepatic phase
Fetal hemoglobin Hb F
First fully developed organ in the fetus
Thymus
Major site of T cell production
Thymus
Produces B cells
Kidneys and spleen
Hematopoiesis in intramedullary phase starts in the bone marrow cavity before the ____
5th month of fetal development
This becomes the chief site of hematopoiesis by the end of the 24 weeks gestation
Bone marrow
Hematopoietic tissues of adult are located NOT ONLY in the bone marrow but also in the ____, ____, ____, and ____
Lymph nodes
Spleen
Thymus
Liver
Contains developing erythroid, myeloid, lymphoid, and megakaryocytic
Bone marrow
Considered to be a primary lymphoid organ with functions equivalent to that of Bursa of Fabricius
Bone marrow
Process of replacing red marrow by yellow marrow during development
Retrogression
Between _ and _ years of age, adipocytes become more abundant and start to occupy the spaces in the long bone previously dominated by active marrow
5 and 7 years of age
Red marrow in the adult are restricted to the
Ribs
Sternum, skull, and shoulder blades
Vertebrae
Pelvis and proximal ends of the long bone marrow cavity
