PLATELET LEC Flashcards
small packages of cytoplasm that are nipped off from the cytoplasm of megakaryocytes
PLATELETS
nipped off from the cytoplasm of megakaryocytes through the process known as
THROMBOPOIESIS
Platelet is considered as true cell.
TRUE OR FALSE
FALSE
precursor of platelet
MEGAKARYOCYTE
4 STAGES OF MEGAKARYOPOIESIS
1.Megakaryoblast
2.Promegakaryocyte
3. Megakaryocyte
4. Metamegakaryocyte
Metamegakaryocyte
FUTURE PLATELET
resembles myeloblast and pronormoblast
MEGAKARYOBLAST
Cytoplasm is abundant, minimal lobularity
PROMEGAKARYOCYTE
most immature stage
MEGAKARYOBLAST
Nucleus is lobulated and basophilic
MEGAKARYOCYTE
Cytoplasm is granular and azurophilic with DMS
MEGAKARYOCYTE
extension of cytoplasm
