Hematopoiesis II: Bone Marrow Flashcards
Where is the majority of RBC production during gestation
Starts in yolk sac but through most of gestation it occurs in the liver
At birth, where is the majority of RBC production
In the red bone marrow
Where does hematopoiesis occur in adults
bone marrow(yellow), comes from ribs, vertebra, sternum, femur
Myeloid tissue
Hemopoietic tissue that gives rise to erythrocytes, platelets, eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils, and monocytes. and is found in red bone marrow
Lymphoid tissue
Site of lymphocytes production. Found in marrow but also in the thymus. Starts in bone marrow, matures in thymus. Makes B and T cells
3 stages of blood cell renewal
- Quiescence
- Activation
- Proliferation
Pluripotential stem cell
Embryonic stem cell, that gives rise to either myeloid or lymphoid cells which then causes differentiation
Multi potential cell
Adult stem cells, same as pluripotent. Gives rise to all other hematopoietic cells. Apparently more limited than pluripotent cells
Progenitor cell
Parent cell of each subtype, like a stem cell in that it can form into different cells (myeloid/lymphoid)
Precursor cell
Stage of blood cell growth that comes just before a mature cell. At this point it is unipotent and has lost most of its stem cell qualities.
Colony forming cell
Aka colony forming unit (CFU). Cells are able to divide and differentiate into a colony (stem cells)
Blood cell renewal
When HSC divide, one of the 2 daughter cells remains an HSC which allows for the body to maintain HSC for future use to make more progenitor cells
What is the progenitor and precursor cell for platelets
Progenitor =Megakaryoblast
Precursor = Megakaryocyte
What happens to the bone marrow in adults
Most of it changes to yellow marrow
What is the progenitor and precursor cell for RBC
Progenitor = proerythroblast
Precursor =Reticulocyte
What is the progenitor and precursor cell for Basophils, eosinophils, and neutrophils
Progenitor = Myeloblast Precursor = metamyelocyte, then they from band cells (immature WBC)
