Hemopoiesis/ blood formation Flashcards
Process of producing mature formed elements of blood
from stem cells
-200 billion RBC in adults.
-10 billion neutrophil
HEMOPOIESIS
branches of hemopoiesis
➔ Erythropoiesis: production of RBCs
➔ Thrombopoiesis: production of platelets
➔ Granulopoiesis: production of granulocytes
➔ Monopoiesis: production of monocytes
➔ Lymphopoiesis: production of lymphocytes
governs blood cell formation during prenatal life (in
mesoderm of the yolk sac
site of formation
mesoderm of yolk sac —> liver —> spleen —> bone
marrow
the site of blood cell formation after the 2nd
month of intrauterine life as long bones begin to ossify
bone marrow
postnatlly where is the bone formation
excpet of lymphopoiesis
bone marrow
occurs in bone marrow and
lymphoid tissue and organs
Lymphopoiesis:
➔Tissue where all formed elements of blood develop from
primitive stem cells to their mature form
Site of Hematopoiesis
Hemopoietic tissue
- site of all forms of hemopoiesis
- red bone marrow
-in sternnum, ilium
in spongy flat bones, humerus and femur
-
MYELOID TISSUE
Framework for a complicated network of interconnecting
spaces called marrow cavities/ spaces
Stroma
functional elements in the stroma cavities
- has blood cells
- adipose cells
- sinusoids
Parenchma
- Composed of endothelial cells that form the lining of
epithelium
➔ Sinusoids
external to
endothelial cells; Phagocytose particulate matter in
sinusoidal blood and marrow spaces
Perisinusoidal macrophages:
- newly matured rbs go to circulating blood
Transcellular migration
Temporary opening that allows the blood cell to
reach the lumen of the sinusoid
- Formed when a mature blood cell presses on
endothelial cell that lines a bone marrow sinusoid
- Closes as soon as blood cell has passed
migration pore
Only lymphocytes are produced
● Important for immune response for protection against
infection
site of all forms of lymphopoiesis
LYMPHOID TISSUE
origin of formed elements of blood
Can be traced back to a single cell,
fertilized ovum or zygote
(committed
to the formation of a single cell),
unipotent
They differentiate into: Totipotent —> unipotent
they get more restricted in
their lineage potential. capacity to multiply decreases
Stem cells
union of sperm and egg cell
- cell division
totipotent
FERTILIZED OVUM (ZYGOTE)
give rise to any type of human cell,
placenta cell or cell of fetal membranes; amnion and
chorion)
Totipotent
- mulberry like
- blastomeres so called cells in this stage
- forms during first few days of embryo dev
- totipotent
MORULA
- day 4 in intrauterin life
- embryo is filled with fluid
- no more true totipotent cells
blastocysts
2 tyes of blastocycts
Trophoblast
Inner cell mass
enclosing wall of blastocyst
- stem cell for placenta and fetal membranes
TROPHOBLAST
a.k.a. embryonic stem cells
- gives rise to fetus
- no longer totipotent
- subsequent divisions of inner cell mass give rise
to more pluripotent stem cells
