Largest cell in bone marrow
Megakaryocyte
Cytoplasm is pale blue and may contain pink granules reminiscent of mature platelets
Dwarf/micromegakaryocyte
How do platelets are released?
- Demarcation or invagination
- Fragmentation of cytoplasm
- Through micro tubular action proplatelets are formed
Pseudopodal extension of megakaryocyte
Proplatelets
Induce stem cell proliferation, induce proliferation and platelet released
Thrombopoietin
TPO is found in
Liver
Kidney
Smooth muscle
For early differentiation of stem cells
Il-3
Acts in the presence of TPO to enhance endomitosis, megakaryocyte maturation
IL 6 and 11
Neutralizer of heparin
