Q

Blood consists of…

A

45% cells – The bulk of the cells consist of red blood cells (erythrocytes) – Platelets and leukocytes (neutrophils, monocytes, basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes) make up the remainder 55% plasma typical volume ~ 5L

Q

hematopoiesis

A

formation of blood cells in the bone marrow The bone marrow contains hematopoietic stem cells and their progeny, and supporting tissues (stroma) that produce cytokines that promote their development “Dry bone marrow” very few blood cells suggests that hematopoeisis is deficient. 0 to 3 months in utero: mesoderm of yolk sac; 3 to 7 months in utero: liver is the main blood-forming organ with spleen contributing; 7 months and beyond: Bone marrow; 70% in pelvis, vertebrae, sternum

Q

lymphocytes

A

20-40% of wbcs 1500-4000 per microliter blood B lymphocytes- produce antibodies. CD4 T lymphocytes- ‘directors of the orchestra’ of the immune system through cytokine production CD8 T lymphocytes- aka cytotoxic T cells, especially good at killing virus-infected cells # increase for leukemias, infections # decrease for immunodeficiency

Q

monocytes

A

2-8% of wbcs 300-600 per microliter blood - These are more serious ‘defenders’ that come into play if the neutrophils cannot do the job, or, to clear the field of dead neutrophils. -Big participants in INFLAMMATION -differentiate into tissue resident macrophages or dendritic cells # increase for infections and chronic inflammation # decrease for leukemias, stress, glucocorticoids, genetic diseases

Q

Hematopoietic stem cells

A

Pluripotent stem cells: self renewing; destruction can lead to pancytopenia -destroyed by radiation, infections (e.g. hepatitis C), chemical poisons and drugs. -Main cytokines supporting them: Stem cell factor, flt-3ligand CXCL12 Committed stem cells: do not self renew, committed to a particular lineage. -Cytokines Promoting their differentiation: IL3, GM-CSF, G-CSF, M-CSF, IL-7. -Think of them as ‘adolescent’ cells

A

Small secreted proteins produced by many cell types that control inflammation, immune responses, and other important processes through their ability to induce differentiation and/or proliferation of certain cells

A

-produced by fibroblasts and endothelial cells - Ligand of c-kit (recepotor on HSC) -supports pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells - no SCF -> death by anemia
