week 1 Flashcards
major role of platelet
adhesion and aggregation
platelets that have
released their contents such as a-granules, ATP and ADP, lysosome granules, which passes through the canalicular system
activated platelets
involves your platelet
and your blood vessels.
primary hemostasis
involves the
coagulation factors.
secondary hemostasis
involves fibrinolysis
tertiary hemostasis
Platelets arise from a unique bone marrow cell known as
megakaryocytes
1 Mature Megakaryocyte can shed off
2000-4000 of platelets.
life span of platelets
8-9 days
largest cells in the bone marrow
megakaryocytes
Megakaryocytes possess multiple chromosomes copies, also known as
polypoid
continuous cell production
hematopoiesis
Multiplication of cells
Proliferative Stage
From the common myeloid progenitors arises the 3
megakaryocyte lineage committed progenitors
o burst-forming unit (BFU-Meg)
o colony forming unit (CFU-Meg)
o light-density CFU (LD-CFU-Meg)
least matured
BFU-Meg
intermediate colony
CFU-Meg
more mature progenitor
LD-CFU-Meg
cloned hundreds of colonies in culture.
BFU-Megs
cloned dozens of colonies in culture
CFU-Meg
growth factor that will help to stimulate of the
production of the platelets
thrombopoietin
least differentiated megakaryocyte
MK-I or megakaryoblast
The hallmark is the present of indentation
MK-II or Promegakaryocyte
most abundant, easily to recognize, largest
bone cells and they are capable now of shredding
of platelets
MK-III or megakaryocytes
a series of membrane lined channel. It will invade from the plasma membrane and it will grow inward to subdivide the entire cytoplasm. It is
identical to megakaryocyte plasma membrane
DMS - demarcation system
it has blebs or pseudopods that is used for locomotion
MK-I or megakaryoblast
