Q

What are the 2 erythroid progenitors

A

Burst-forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E)
Colony-forming unit-erythroid (CFU-E)

17
Q

What are the 6 erythroid precursors

A

Pronormoblast
Basophilic normoblast
Polychromatic normoblast
Orthochromic normoblast
Reticulocyte
Erythrocyte

18
Q

What is the nomenclature and from what country are the 3 systems?

A

Erythroblastic - British
Normoblastic - American
Rubriblastic - European

19
Q

Name the RBC maturation stages

A
20
Q

What is the primary protein a pronormoblast makes?

A

Hemoglobin

21
Q

What is hypoxia

A

An absence of enough oxygen in the tissues
A stimulant for erythropoiesis

22
Q

Describe the erythrokinetics cycle

A
23
Q

What do you have more of once you end your period

A

Erythropoietin

24
Q

How long does differentiation and maturation from a basophilic erythroblast take

A

5 to 7 days

25
Q

What % of evythroid precursors never mature and are destroyed and why?

A

10-15%
They don’t make it out of the bone marrow
Go into a resivoir for RBCs
Recycled

26
Q

What % of RBCs are broken down by extravascular hemolysis and where does it happen

A

90%
Happens in organs/tissue: spleen and liver

27
Q

What % of RBCs are broken down by intravascular hemolysis and how does it happen

A

10%
Cells fall apart or get destroyed inside the blood vessel
