L7 Hematopoiesis & Bone Marrow Flashcards
What type of lymphoid organ is bone marrow?
primary
Where does the developement of blood cell take place?
bone marrow
What are the two types of bone marrow?
yellow marrow and red marrow
What are the three parts of red marrow?
stroma
Hematopoietic cords
sinusoidal capillaries
Which type of marrow is predominant in newborns?
red marrow
Where is red marrow located in adults?
spongy bone and end of long bones
What is the most important cell to identify in a bone marrow section image?
megakaryocyte
What is the difference b/n bone marrow aspiration and biopsy?
aspiration collects bone marrow into a syringe; biopsy cuts out an intact piece of bone marrow
What characterizes aplastic anemia?
hypocellular bone marrow
meaning that the bone marrow is mostly adipose tissue and there is a lack of hematopoietic activity
What characterized acute myelogenous leukemia?
hypercellular bone marrow
meaning bone marrow is mostly myoblasts, lack of adipose tissue, and increased blood cell development
What are the stages of fetal hematopoiesis before birth?
Stage 1,2, and 3
Fetal Hematopoiesis:
What is stage 1? Where does it occur?
formation of RBC blood islands
embryonic yolk sac
Fetal Hematopoiesis:
What is stage 2? Where does it occur?
all RBCs and some WBCs are produced
liver
Fetal Hematopoiesis:
What is stage 3? Where does it occur?
all RBC and WBCs are produced
bone marrow
What cell generates RBCs, WBCs, and platelets in adult hematopoiesis?
myeloid stem cells
Myeloid stem cells directly produce which cells?
megakaryoblasts proerythroblasts, and myeloblasts
proerythroblasts produce which mature cells?
RBCs
myeloblasts produce which mature cells?
Leukocytes WBCs
Megakaryoblasts produce which mature cells?
platelets
