Hemopoiesis Flashcards
% of body weight blood and bone marrow make
Bone marrow-5 percent
Blood- 10 percent
When does hemopoiesis begin?
1-2 weeks post-conception
What is the primary site of postnatal hemopoiesis
Bone marrow
Hemopoiesis
Formation of blood cells
Myelopoiess
Production of marrow or blood cells derived from marrow
Leukopoiesis
Production of white blood cells
Erythropoiesis
Production of erythrocytes
Lymphopoiesis
Production of lymphocytes
Granulopoiesis
Production of granulocytes
Extramedullary myelopoiesis
Production of myeloid elements at sites other than bone marrow
Hemopoiesis location 1-2 weeks post-conception
Embryological site= Mesoderm of yolk sac (blood islands)
Hemopoiesis location 6 weeks of gestation to birth
First trimester=liver
Hemopoiesis location during second trimester to birth
Spleen
Hemopoiesis location third trimester of gestation throughout postnatal life
Bone marrow
What hemopoietic areas can be reactivated if needed as postnatal site of hemopoiess (extramedullary)
Liver and Spleen
What type of bone marrow is in fetus?
-Indicates
Red marrow
-active myelopoiess
What type of bone marrow is in adults?
Red marrow (flat bones, vertebrae, long bone epiphyses) -Active myelopoiesis
Yellow marrow
-Inactive myelopoiesis
Yellow marrow
- made of
- types of cells
Adipose CT
Adipocytes occupy space not needed for hemopoetic cells
T/F Yellow marrow can not be re-activated
F
It can be re-activated
How do WBC get into circulation
Central vein
Sinus of bone marrow is lined by
Endothelial cells
Stroma of bone marrow (2)
Reticular CT forms open lattice
Adventitial reticular cells (type of reticular cell)
Adventitial reticular cell fxn (5)
1-Produce and surround reticular fibers (type III collagen)
2-Prevent exposure to platelets (prevents clotting)
3-Branching of cytoplasmic processes forms scaffold for hemopoietic cells
4-Provide structural support for sinusoids
5-Differentiate into adipocytes
Bone marrow structure- sinusoids
- Structure
- Connect
- Wide, anastomotic vascular channels
- Connect branches from central artery to central vein
T/F Central artery is larger that the central vein
T
What is the benefit of the central artery being larger than the central vein?
Increases pressure in the sinusoids to prevent their collapse as cells are produced in hemopoietic tissue
Sinusoids endoethelial lining is supported by
Reticular CT and adventitial reticular cells
Where are MQ located in relation to sinusoids
Along outer wall of sinusoids and among hemopoietic cell groups
Fxn of MQ (3)
1-Eliminate old RBC, malformed cells, extruded nuclei from maturing RBC
2-Regulate differentiation of hemopoietic cells
3-Deliver Fe to developing RBC for heme formation
