(P) Week 2: Hematopoiesis PART 2 Flashcards
refers to how big is the nucleus in comparison to the space in the cytoplasm
Nuclear cytoplasmic ratio
T or F
N:C ratio
Nucleus is increasing in size, therefore making the space in the cytoplasm smaller
F (decreasing nucleus size, larger cytoplasm)
Which stages of RBC precursor cells no longer has a nucleus
Reticulocytes and Mature red cells
The only stage where the cytoplasm space is larger than the nucleus
Metarubricyte
Term for nuclear death / degradation
Karyorexis
What is the cytoplasmic color of the RBC precursor cells before it becomes redder as it matures
basophilic (blue nucleus)
Why does the cytoplasmic color turns redder as the RBC matures?
there’s more hemoglobin content
which RBC development stage does heme and globin formation start?
rubriblast
where is heme synthesized?
mitochondria
globin is synthesized by
ribosomes
where does heme and globin meet to become a hemoglobin?
cytoplasm
T or F
A compact chromatin structure pertains to an alive nucleus
F (dying nucleus aggregates and create a highly compact structure)
Which stages of RBC maturation have cell divisions?
- Rubriblast
- Prorubricyte
- rubricyte
how many RBCs are produced from a single rubriblast?
16 (based on the number of cell divisions)
stage of RBC maturation where hemoglobin becomes complete
Rubricyte
Particular RBC maturation stage where nuclear extrusion / removal occurs
Metarubricyte
last stage of hemoglobin formation because there’s still remnants of mitochondria and ribosomes
Reticulocyte
T or F
You can no longer synthesize hemoglobin if the stage lacks a nucleus
F (you may continue hemoglobin synthesis as long as there’s still mitochondria and ribosomes)
reticulocytes stays in the bone marrow for ___ days held by _______
2days, held by fibronectin
what reduces the fibronectin that holds the reticulocytes in the bone marrow, so that it could enter the circulation
EPO
What is the normal reticulocyte concentration in the adult individual?
0.5-1.5% only (some books say maximum 2%)
term for excessive reticulocytes
reticulocytosis
what is the term for early released reticulocytes which takes time to mature
shift / stressed reticulocyte
T or F
There’s still hemoglobin synthesis in the mature red cell to maintain its red color
F (NO hemoglobin synthesis)
term for the change in shape of the RBC from the normal shape
poikilocytosis
Which of the following is the most mature normoblast?
a. orthochromatic normoblast
b. Basophilic normoblast
c. pronormoblast
d. polychromatic normoblast
a
What is the organ that gradually removes the remnants of mitochondria and ribosomes in the reticulocyte?
pitting function of the spleen
Which among the red cell precursors has almost 1:1 ratio, with a murky gray-blue cytoplasmic hue and no distinct nucleoli
a. metarubricyte
b. rubricyte
c. reticulocyte
d. prorubricyte
rubricyte
What is the growth factor of RBCs?
EPO
What are the two growth factors of leukocytopoiesis
CSF-G and CSF-M
what does CSF-G stand for?
Colony Stimulating Factor - Granulocytes
what does CSF-M stand for?
Colony Stimulating Factor - monocytes
Enumerate the five stages of granulocytopoiesis
- Myeloblast
- Promyelocyte
- Myelocyte
- Metamyelocyte
- Band / stab cell
What are the three mature granulocytes?
neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils
there are ______ nuclear divisions in granulocytopiesis
5-6
which stages of granulocytopoiesis are considered to be the mitotic pool?
myeloblast
promyelocyte
myelocyte
These stages of granulocytopoiesis are called the maturation pool
metamyelocyte
band/stab cell
segmenters
T or F
cell size in granulocytopoiesis is decreasing as it matures
T
which stages of granulocytopoiesis have clearly visible nucleoli
myeloblast and promyelocyte
_________ has non visible nucleoli
myelocyte
Only ______ __________ has absolutely no cytoplasmic granules
Type 1
type ___ myeloblast has <20 cytoplasmic granules
2
type ___ myeloblast has >20 cytoplasmic granules
3
what gives myelocyte a lilac color on its granules?
secondary granules
