21
Q

What are the 9 development stages of erythropoiesis

A
  1. Myeloid Lineage of Cells (Common Myeloid Progenitor Cells), triggered by erythropoietin
  2. Megakaryocyte/Erythrocyte Progenitor Cells, triggered by GATA-1
  3. Erythrocyte Committed Progenitor Cells
  4. Proerythroblasts
  5. Basophilic Erythroblasts
  6. Polychromatophilic Erythroblast
  7. Orthochromatophilic Erythroblast or Normoblast
  8. Reticulocyte
  9. Erythrocyte
22
Q

What is a proerythrocyte

A

First microscopically recognizable cell

Large cell (12- 20 µm)

Large, spherical nucleus
1 or 2 nucleoli
Lightly basophilic cytoplasm

Free ribosomes

Not easily identified in bone marrow smears

23
Q

Describe a basophilic ery

A

From mitoses of Proerythroblast

Smaller nucleus and more heterochromatin

No visible nucleolus

Cytoplasm is strongly basophilic
Due to large numbers of free ribosomes (polyribosomes)

Ribosomes synthesize hemoglobin

24
Q

Describe Polychromatophilic Erythroblast

A

Cytoplasm displays both acidophilia (because of the staining of hemoglobin) and basophilia (because of the staining of polyribosomes)

Overall gray or lilac color to cytoplasm or distinct pink and purple regions

Nucleus smaller than in basophilic erythroblast

Nucleus shows prominent heterochromatin forming a checkerboard pattern (characteristic identifying feature)

25
Q

Describe Orthochromatophilic Erythroblast

A

Small, compact, densely stained nucleus

Cytoplasm is eosinophilic (because of the large amount of hemoglobin)
Slightly larger than a mature erythrocyte
Not capable of cell division
Also known as Normoblast

26
Q

Describe Reticulocyte or Polychromatophilic Erythrocyte

A

Orthochromatophilic Erythroblast extrudes its nucleus:
The anucleate new cell is known as the Reticulocyte
Retains some polyribosomes
Ployribsomes form a reticular mesh and show basophilia on staining (hence reticulocyte)
Ready to be released into the sinusoids
In normal blood reticulocytes make up 1-2% of the total RBC count
Any increase in this percentage (reticulocytosis) could indicate increased erythropoiesis to compensate for blood loss
