Q

Reticulocyte maturation and entry takes how long?

A

3-4 days

17
Q

Meaning of seeing reticulocytes in blood?

A

The person is anaemic because imature cells are being pushed out.

After birth, RBC production occurs in?

A

Long bones

20
Q

Erythryoid prcursor cell compartment contains?

A

Contains mitochondria which drive haemoglobin synthesis

21
Q

Mitochondria in erythryoid precursor cell is needed for?

A

Driving haemoglobin synthesis

22
Q

Abnormalities in erythryoid precursor cell’s mitochondria is called?

A

Porphyria

23
Q

Different abnormalities in haemoglobin synthesis cause?

A

Causes build up of precursor cells and can cause nerve damage or skin problems.

24
Q

Haem inhibits _____ and reduces _____.

A

Inhibits ALA-S production and reducees iron pool.
