Cards

Term
mesoblastic phase of hematopoiesis
Definition
3rd ---> 9th week of gestation

blood islands from mesoderm of yolk sac

primitive blood vessel formation

primitive erythroblasts
Term
hepatic phase of hematopoiesis
Definition
4th week -----> birth

migration of primitive erythroblasts from yolk sac to liver

definitive erythropoiesis (spleen, liver, thymus)
Term
myeloid phase of hematopoiesis
Definition
4th ----> 5th month of gestation

medullary (myeloid) hematopoiesis with early skeletal development
Term
bone marrow
Definition
found between trabeculae of spongy bone

loose connective tissue composed of 2 compartments:
1. hematopoietic
2. vascular
Term
bone marrow - hematopoietic compartment
Definition
has hematopoietic cords of maturing blood cells

supportive stroma (reticular cells, macs)

once matured, blood cells move from the hematopoietic cords to adjacent sinusoids (where they cross endothelial lining to reach circulation)
Term
bone marrow - vascular compartment
Definition
consists of....

nutrient artery
arterioles
sinusoids
central longitudinal vein
Term
stem cell growth factors
Definition
erythropoietin - simulates proerythroblasts; produced in kidney; renal insufficiency = anemia

granulopoietin
thrombopoietin
Term
erythropoiesis


PBPORE
Definition
RBC formation - 3-7 days

pronormoblast (proerythroblast)

basophilic normoblast

polychromatophilic normoblast

orthochromatic normoblast

reticulocyte

erythrocyte
Term
erythropoiesis (cont')
Definition
nucleus gradually condenses, becomes expelled

basophilic ribosomes (like bases, thus stain blue) --------> acidophilic (hemoglobin) cytoplasm

gradual decrease in cell size

nucleus expelled before becoming a reticulocyte (at orthochromatic normoblast stage)
Term
granulopoiesis
Definition
MPMMBS

Myeloblast

Promyelocyte (primary granules appear)

Myelocyte (secondary/specific granules appear)

Metamyelocyte

Banded Neutrophil

Segmented Neutrophil

**nucleus gradually condenses
**appearance of primary (azurophilic) granules
**appearance of secondary (specific) granules
Term
erythroblastic islands
Definition
macrophage in the middle of maturing RBCs

eats what orthochromatin normoblast leaves behind (nucleus)
Term
dawn of neutrophilia
Definition
first appearance of neutrophilic (secondary/specific) granules

happens at myelocyte stage
Term
agranulopoiesis
Definition
process of forming monocytes and lymphocytes
**no use of granules!**

nucleus gradually condenses

appearance of few primary (azurophilic granules)
Term
megakaryocyte
Definition
megakaryoglasts (1 large nucleus with many nucleoli)

keeps duplicating DNA --> becomes polyploid



found adjacent to endothelium of marrow sinusoids

cytoplasmic processes extend through sinus wall to release PLATELETS
Term
normal blood analysis
Definition
Neutrophils 50-70%

Basophils 0.5%

Eosinophils (1-4%)

Lymphocytes (20-40%)

Monocytes (2-8%)
Term
myeloid leukemia
Definition
too many myelocytes (immature leukocytes)
Term
pernicious anemia
Definition
increased # of aged cells

hypersegmented neutrophils
