Megakaryopoiesis Flashcards
Stages , Platelet Structure , Henostasis
Proceeds initially through a phase chracterized by mitotic division of a progenitor cell.
Megakaryopoiesis
Maturation of megakaryocyte is through.
Endomitosis
Earliest recognizable stage
Megakaryocyte
Cytoplasm has aggregates of granular material into masses seperated by DMS
Metamegakaryocyte
At least 4 nuclei can produce platelets
Megakaryocytes
Contains mithochondria and primitive endoplasmic reticulum
Megakaryoblast
Has a diameter of 15 - 50 um
Megakaryoblast
Function as the future membrane system of platelets
DMS
Abundant cytoplasm contains numerous small granules with a reddish blue hue
Megakaryocyte
A very large cell
Metamegakaryocyte
Size is larger to megakryoblast
Promegarkaryocyte
Nucleus is multilobed and ploidy ranges from 4N to 64N
Metamegakaryocyte
Decreased nuclear cytoplasmic ratio
Metamegakaryocyte
Cytoplasm is devoid of specific organelles
Megakaryocyte
Nucleus usually undergone one or two division
Promegakaryocyte
