LEC1 - PLATELET PRODUCTION, STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS Flashcards
do platelets have nucleus?
nope, they are anucleated
platelets circulate at a concentration of ___
150-400 10^9/L
- Platelet count in women is slightly __________ than in men.
higher
Platelet count older than 65 years ________________.
lower
platelet triggers what type of hemostasis
primary hemostasis
Platelets arise from a unique bone marrow cell called ___
megakaryocytes
platelet life span
8 - 9 days
what is the largest cell in the bone marrow
megakaryocytes
megakaryocyte posses multiple chromosomes copies called as
polypoid
Megakaryocytes is about ___________
um in diameter
30 - 50 mm
megakaryocyte
It is the only cell line where cells become
bigger as they mature.
true or false
true the fire
Instead of mitosis, megakaryocytes undergo what type of cell division
endomitosis
what’s the difference of endomitosis to mitosis
A form of mitosis wherein there is no cytoplasmic division but there is NUCLEAR DIVISION
3 STAGE OF PLATELET PRODUCTION
- proliferative stage
- terminal differentiation stage
- thrombopoiesis stage
3 stages of megakaryocyte progenitors
BFU - burst forming unit
CFU - colony forming unit
LD - CFU - light density colony forming unit
the 3 stages of megakaryocyte progenitors are always thought and looks like as
lymphocytes
among the 3 stages of megakaryocyte progenitor, which are the ones undergoing mitosis and endomitosis
BFU and CFU undergo mitosis
LD - CFU undergo endomitosis
stages under proliferative stage of platelet production
BFU - burst forming unit
CFU - colony forming unit
LD - CFU - light density colony forming unit
stage of meg progenitors that clones hundreds of colony
Burst forming unit
stage of megakaryocyte that forms daughter colony
colony forming unit - cfu
the most matured stage of megakaryocyte progenitors
light density colony forming unit
the replication of
chromosomes in the
absence of cell
or nuclear division,
Endomitosis
stages of terminal
megakaryocyte differentiation
megakaryoblast
promegakaryocyte
megakaryocyte
precursor % of megakaryoblast
20%
