Unit 2 Hematopoiesis Flashcards
PPT and Discussion based
Formation of blood cells
Hematopoiesis
Continuous, regulated process of renewal, proliferation, differentiation and maturation of all blood cell lines
Hematopoiesis
Two types of hematopoiesis
Prenatal and Postnatal
Erythropoiesis
Leukopoiesis (myelopoiesis, lymphopoiesis)
Megakaryopoiesis
Hematopoiesis
3 stages of prenatal hematopoiesis
1 Mesoblastic period
2 Hepatic period
3 Myeloid/Medullary period
Prenatal Hematopoiesis during Fetal development
Mesoblastic period
Hepatic period
Prenatal hematopoiesis
Starts during fetal development and persistent throughout
Myeloid/Medullary period
begins as early as the nineteenth day after fertilization in the yolk sac of the embryo
mesoblastic period (primitive erythropoiesis)
only erythrocytes are made (primitive erythropoiesis)
Mesoblastic period
Mesoblastic period
RBCs contain unique fetal hemmoglobins
Gower-1
Gower-2
Portland
Mesoblastic period occurs ___
intravascularly because wala pang developed blood sep
Start of hemohlobin production at
Primitive hemoglobin
Begins around 5-7 gestational weeks
Hepatic period
Becomes the chief site of blood cell production
Fetal liver
Organs contributing to hematopoiesis
Spleen
Kidney
Thymus
Lymph nodes
Hepatic period occurs
Extravascularly (kasi may blood vessesls na)
Beginning of definitive hematopoiesis
Hepatic period
Megakaryopoiesis begins
Hepatic period
Hgb F and adult hemoglobins
Hepatic period
Begins at the 4th to 5th month of fetal development
Myeloid/Medullary Period
Occurs in the medulla of bone marrow
Myeloid/Medullary period
By the end of 24th weeks of gestation, it becomes the primary site
Bone Marrow
Detectable levels of
EPO, G-CSF,GM-CSF
Fetal Hgb and Adult Hgb
Myeloid/Medullary period
It peaks at 4th month and when it peaks it becomes myeloid
Liver
Bone marrow
Medullary
Liver
extramedullary
only in the absence of hematopoiesis
extramedullary
hematopoiesis in areas other than bone marrow
extramedullary hematopoiesis
Hematopoietic tissues
Bone marrow
Liver
Lymph nodes
Spleen
Thymus
source of RBC line
Precursors
Located inside the spongy bone
Bone marrow
In normal adult, 1/2 of bone marrow is
Hematopoietically active (red marrow)
In normal adult the other 1/2 of bone marrow is
Inactive, fatty marrow (yellow marrow)
Marrow contains both
Erythroid (RBC) and Leukocyte (WBC) precursors
(as well as platelet precursors)
Early in life most of the marrow is red marrow and it gradually decreases to the adult level of 50% and the remaining 50% is
50% fat cells/adipose
(other 50% is hematopoietic)
When bone marrow increases its activity 5-10X its normal state
Hyperplastic
(because it replaces the yellow marrow with red marrow)
Hyperplastic conditions occur when there is
increased or ineffective hematopoiesis
Pathologic states that causes Hyperplastic
Acute blood loss in which there is temporary replacement of the yellow marrow (if you lose 20% blood volume)
