Lecture 7 Flashcards
With in the first two weeks of embryonic life what blood cell is produced by the yolk sac?
Primitive red cell
What type of WBC is produsted 1st?
Granulocytes
What is the 1st major stage of Hematopoietic Development?
Mesoblastic Period (Yolk Sac Phase)
What is the 2nd major stage of Hematopoietic Development?
Hapatic Period
What is the 3rd major stage of Hematopoietic Development?
Medullary (Myeloid Phase AKA Bone Marrow)
When does the Mesoblastic Period begin?
Around the 19th day of embryologic development.
When doe the Mesoblastic Period end?
Around 8 weeks (or 2 months) of gestation.
What are the Hematopoietic products produced during the Mesoblastic Period?
- Portlans
- Gower 1
- Gower 2 HgBs
When the the Hepatic Period usually start?
Begins at 4-5 weeks of gestation.
How long does the Hepatic Period last?
It ends just before birth.
Where does the Hepatic Period take place?
Liver
Where does the Mesoblastic Period take place?
THe Yolk Sac
What are the Hematopoictic products produced during the Hepatic Period?
- Primitive and definitive erythoblasts
- Granulocytes, monocytes, lymphocytes, megakaryocytes
- Hemoglobins F, A, and A2
What other tissue produces blood cells during the Hepatic Period besides the Liver?
Spleen
What Period is 1?
Mesoblastic
What Period is 2?
Hepatic
What Period is 3?
Medullary
Where does 1 take place?
Yolk Sac
Where does 2 take place?
Liver & Spleen
Where does 3 take place?
Boan Marrow
When does the Medullary Phase begin?
Usually begins between the 4th and 5th month of fetal gestation.
Where does the Medullary (Myeloid) Phase take place?
In the the medulla or inner part of the bone marrow.
When does the bone marrow become the primary site of hematopoiesis?
By the sixth month of age.
What Hematopoietic products produced at this time?
- Various stages of all cell lines
- EPO: Erythropoietin
- Fetal and adult hemoglobins
When does red marrow turn into fatty yellow marrow?
Around the age of 5-7 years.
How much bone marrow is found in adults?
Only about 50% of the bone marroe is red marow.
Where can the red bone marrow befound in a adult?
- Skull
- Clavicle
- Sternum
- Ribs
- Vertebrae
- Pelvis
- Proximal ends of the hurmerus and femur.
What is Retrogression?
The process of replacing the active marrow by adipose tissue during development into adulthood.
What is Extramedullary Hematopoiesis?
In some diseases, the spleen and liver may also become sites of blood cell production.
Under what kind of conditions can the 50% of yellow marrow found in adult be converted back to red?
Extreme
What does Medullary Hematopoisis mean?
- Normal condition
- 50% / 50% adult bone marrow is red / yellow
- Bone marrow is the major site of hematopoiesis
What does Extramedullary Hematopoiesis mean?
- Abnormal condition
- 100% of the bone marrow is engaged in hematopoiesis
- The spleen and liver also become sites of hematopoiesis
All blood cells arise from?
Stem cells
Where is the stem cells found?
The red bone marrow.
Stem cells, which have the ability to reproduce and differentiate, comprise less than what % of the marrow cells?
1% of the marrow cells
