Lecture 13: Hematopoiesis Flashcards
Totipotent
Give rise to all cells of an organism
Pluripotent
Give rise to all cells of the embryo and subsequently adult tissues
Multipotent
Give rise to different cell types of a given lineage
Embryonic stem cells
Pluripotent
Derived from inner-cell mass of blastocyst
Adult stem cells
Multipotent
Hematopoietic site 2-8 weeks gestation
Islands of hematopoiesis are found in the yolk sac wall
Give rise to nucleated erythrocytes
No leukocytes yet
Hematopoietic site 8-28 weeks gestation
Hematopoiesis first occurs in the liver and then the spleen
Normally ceases around time of birth
Hematopoietic site 6 months gestation to birth and beyond
Hematopoiesis occurs in red bone marrow
Red marrow found where prior to and after puberty
Prior- Skull, ribs, sternum, vertebrae, clavicles, pelvis, long bones
After- Same except not in long bones
Red blood cell formation can occur where in certain disease states
Liver and Spleen
Stroma
Contains fibroblasts, reticular, adipose and endothelial cells
Synthesizes and secretes hematopoietic growth factors
Parenchyma
Consists of various lineages of hematopoietic cells in different stages of differentiation
Sinusoids
Endothelial-lined spaces that connect arterial and venous vessels
Provides access for mature blood cells to move into the circulation
Hematopoietic cords
Bands of parenchyma and stroma lying between the sinusoids
Hematopoietic stem cells are (potency)
Pluripotent
