L13: Hematopoiesis Flashcards
categories of developmental capacity of cells
totipotent
pluripotent
multipotent
stem cell types
- embryonic stem cells – pluripotent
2. adult stem cells - multipotent
embryonic stem cells
- from inner-cell mass of blastocyst
2. pluripotent
adult stem cellls
- from mature organs/tissues – bone marrow
2. multipotent
origin of 1st blood cells
- weeks 2-8
- islands of hematopoiesis – found in yolk sac wall
- no WBCs
blood cells week 8-28
- hematopoiesis first occurs in liver then spleen
2. ceases around birth
blood cells 6 month gestation-birth-beyond
hematopoiesis occurs in red bone marrow
list the types of bone marrow
red - RBCs
yellow - WBCs
at birth all bone marrow is ?
red – source of all blood cells
where is red marrow found prior to puberty
skull ribs sternum vertebrae clavicle pelvis long bones
where is red marrow found after puberty
same as prior except no longer in long bones
skull, ribs, sternum, vertebrae, clavicle, pelvis
extramedullary hematopoiesis
in certain diseases blood cells can still be formed in liver and spleen
thru your lifetime most marrow is ______
converted to yellow
red is found only in sternum and iliac crest
list the aspects discussed about bone marrow histology
stroma parenchyma sinusoids hematopoietic cords cells
bone marrow stroma
CT support for cells
contains: fibroblasts, reticular cells, adipose cells and endothelial cells
makes and secretes hematopoietic growth factors
bone marrow parenchyma
consists of various hematopoietic cells in different stages of maturation
bone marrow sinusoids
- endothelial lined spaces
- connect artery and veins
- provide exit for mature blood cells
bone marrow hematopoietic cords
bands of parenchyma and stroma lying between sinusoids
where blood cells are actually forming
distribution of hematopoietic cells
60% granulocytopoiesis
30% erthyocytopoiesis
10% thrombo-mono-lymphyo-cytopoiesis
myeloid: erythroid ratio
3: 1 normal
8: 1 leukemia
1: 5 polycythemia
WBC:RBC
hematopoietic compartments
- stem cell comp.
- differentiating/dividing comp.
- functional comp.
bone marrow HSC niche
where stem cells have everything they need to carry out their functions
more than/not just a “location”
2 kinds of multipotent precursor cells
- myeloid stem cell – all blood cells except lymphocytes
2. lymphoid stem cell — lymphocytes
how are hematopoietic stem cells recognized
cannot be identified by structure but by cell surface markers
CFU
colony forming units
