LE2 - Blood and Hematopoiesis, Nervous Tissue and Nervous System, Muscle Tissues and Lymphatic Tissue Flashcards
- Identify the cell.
Neutrophil
- Which layer of the centrifuged blood is it found?
Buffy Coat
- Identify the tissue.
RED BONE MARROW, BONE MARROW
What growth factor facilitates its differentiation?
THROMBOPOIETIN
Megakaryocyte and red cell production
- Identify the RBC stage
ORTHOCHROMATOPHILIC ERYTHROBLAST
PB-PORE
Erythropoiesis: Proerythroblast, Basophilic Erythroblast, Polychromatic Erythroblast; Ortochromic Erythroblast,Reticulocyte, Erythrocyte.
**
o Proerythroblast:
▪ Earliest identifiable precursor of RBC; Cells are large; (+) Nucleoli; Basophilic Cytoplasm; Cells are Mitotic (Undergo cellular division; Actively producing RNA → Basophilic Cytoplasm).
o Basophilic Erythroblast:
▪ Smaller than erythroblast; (-) Nucleoli (Nucleolus disappeared); Intensely Basophilic cytoplasm because of Ribosomes. Stops RNA Production, reached the peak.
o Polychromatic Erythroblast:
▪ Smaller than its precursor; Condensed Checkerboard Nucleus (Nucleus starts to condense in not uniform manner; “Checkerboard Appearance”); Gray-Green Cytoplasm because of hemoglobin accumulation (Hemoglobin Begins to Rise + Ribosomes = Gray-Green). Observable Hemoglobin Stages. As long there are RNA, it is followed by hemoglobin synthesis.
o Orthochromic Erythroblast:
▪ Smaller Pyknotic Nucleus (Nucleus is uniformly condensed; About to extruded out; “Small Condensed Nucleus); “Normoblast”; Last stage where nucleus is seen; Pink Cytoplasm due to hemoglobin accumulation.
o Reticulocyte:
▪ No Nucleus (Extruded out; “Absent Nucleus”); Pink-Orange with Bluish Hue (Due to Remaining Ribosomes); Reticular Network seen on Cresyl Blue (*Ribosomes in network like pattern);
▪ High Number: Indicative of Massive Chronic or Severe loss of blood.
▪ Low Number: Indicative of Suppression of BM; Chemotherapy, Aplastic Anemia, Pernicious Anemia, Forms of Bone Malignancies. *Number in circulation is good indicator of BM activity.

PERIMYSIUM
Connective Tissue Coverings: Endomysium, Perimysium, Epimysium. *Subtype: Fibrous.
o Endomysium – Loose Connective Tissue; Covers individual myocytes.
o Perimysium – Dense Irregular Connective Tissue; Covers each muscle bundle or fascicle.
o Epimysium – Dense Irregular Connective Tissue; Covers the whole muscle.
