Lecture 3 - Blood and Hematopoiesis Flashcards
mixture of cells and fluid that is being transported throughout the body by the cardiovascular system
blood
blood volume of large domestic animals
8 -10 % of body weight
Functions of plasma
- dynamic reservoir for maintaining the proper composition of ECF
- removes wastes
- supplies body tissues with materials necessary for body metabolism
process of creating a wide variety of blood and bone marrow cells
hematopoiesis
Common myeloid progenitors products
- megakaryocytes
- erythrocytes
- basophils
- neutrophils
- eosinophils
- monocytes
common lymphoid progenitors produces
- NK cells
- B lymphocytes
- T lymphocytes
All blood cells arise from
pluripotential hemopoietic stem cells
pluripotential hemopoietic stem cells give rise to 2 types of committed stem cells
myeloid stem cells and lymphoid stem cells
resemble small lymphocytes
progenitor cells
progenitor cells give rise to these cells, which become recognizable as members of a specific lineage
precursor cells
undergo cell division and differentiation to yield mature cells
precursor cells
from blood into tissues and develop into macrophages
monocytes
migrate from blood into tissues where they proliferate and mature into mast cells
mast cell progenitors
maturation of functional T cells occurs in
thymus
b cells differentiate in these peripheral lymphoid tissues
lymph nodes, spleen, and diffuse lymphoid tissue
hematopoietic cells are identified on their ability to form colonies when cultured
in vitro
In adults, hematopoiesis occurs in
bone marrow
fluid phase of the blood
plasma
part of blood that is dense and collect in the bottom of the tube
red cells
collect at the interface between the red cells and the plasma in a thin gray-white layer
buffy coat
refers to plasma after clotting factors and fibrin have been removed
serum
by far the predominant cell type in the blood smear
erythrocytes/rbc
lifespan of rbc
