Lecture 11- haemopoetic dev Flashcards
what is haemotopoesis
the biol process which all blood cells are generated
what are the three mature blood cell types in verts
erythrocytes (rbc)
myeloids (innate immune syst)
lymphocytes (adaptive immune syst)
what is the function of erythrocytes and number produced daily
transport oxygen
2 million
system works non-stop to prouce cells (most common cell in body)
what is a subset of the myeloid
granulocytes
what are eg of myeloid
which one not granulocyte
neutrophil
eosinophil
basophil
macrophage (*)
what different about macrophages compared to rest of myeloid
life span days to years
in others only few days
what are some eg of lymphocytes
T cells (inc cytotoxi/helper/regulatory/memory) B cells (plasma/memory)
what the difference between b and t cells
b are less specific
what are megakaryocytes
another blood cell
fragments of which are platelets
each produces (2000-5000 platelets)
what is the stem cell all blood cell arise from
long term haemopoetic stem cell (LT HSC)
where ar LT hSC found
in bone marrow
the micro env conditions very complex and specific - not yet recreate in vivo
when are HSC created
in embryonic life
no de novo gen after birth
how does the emergence of the haemopoeitc system in the mouse embryo occur
in waves
where are the first blood cells in embryoinic life generated
yolk sac
when are the first blood cells generated in the embryo and what blood cells are they
