L7 Hematopoiesis and Bone Marrow Flashcards
What are the primary lymphoid organs ?
- Thymus
- Bone Marrow
- Gut-associated lymphatic tissue
How do the lymphocytes travel ?
via blood vessels and lymphatics vessels to secondary lymphoid organs and tissues
What are the secondary lymphoid organs and tissues?
- Diffuse Lymphatics Tissue
- Lymphatic Nodules and Tonsils
- Lymph Nodes
- Spleen
Where are developing blood cells ?
- bone marrow
Where are the mature blood cells ?
- blood
Hemopoiesis
formation of blood cells and platelets
During fetal life blood cells, how often is the hematopoiesis happening ?
- formed in several organs
How often does the hemopoiesis after birth ?
- occurs only in the red bone marrow and lymphatic tissues
What is the 1st Phase, Embryonic Yolk Sac ?
Formation of blood islands ( red blood cells)
What is the 2nd Phase, Hepatic ?
Red and some white blood cells
What is the 3rd Phase, Bone Marrow ?
Red and white blood cells, also spleen, lymphatic organs
What are the two types of marrow ?
- red and yellow
Red Marrow consists of
- stroma ( reticular cells) that produce fibers
- blood-forming cords
- endothelial-lined sinusoids
What color are all marrow in newborns?
- red
Where is the inactive marrow ?
in the long bones
Where is the active marrow ?
in the spongy parts of the bone
In adults what is formed in the bone marrow ?
erythrocytes, granulocytes, monocytes, and platelets
Where are lymphocytes formed ?
both red bone marrow and in the lymphatic tissues
Yellow marrow
inactive bone marrow
Sinusoid Capillary
mature cells enter here to leave, shows bone marrow
Fenestrated sinusoids endothelial lining with ?
- discontinuous base membrane and incomplete cover by reticular (adventitial cells)
Marrow stromal compartment contains
- fibroblasts and macrophages
Cytokines Production is done by ?
- meshwork of reticular fibers and reticular cells (adventitial cells)
Hemopoietic “Cords”
pockets of developing cells
What happens in the bone marrow aspiration ?
- a needle is inserted through the skin until it penetrates bone
