(34 cards)
primary site of hematopoiesis in adults
bone marrow
myelocytic cells
erythrocytes, platelets, monocytic/phagocytic cells
completely mature in the bone marrow
myelocytic cells
occurs in primary lymphoid organs
lymphoid cell development
B cells develop in
bone marrow
T cells develop in
Thymus
immature cells, non-function cells are normal retained in
bone marrow
hematopoietically active
red marrow
hematopoietically inactive adipocytes (fate cells)
yellow marrow
the amount of red marrow to yellow marrow ___ with age
decreases (less red marrow as you age, 100-age)
occurs in bone marrow in a regulated process
granulopoiesis
functional WBC, leaves bone marrow to blood
neutrophil
increase in bands and/or other immature neutrophil stages in peripheral blood
left shift
key component of primary hemostasis
platelets
platelets are derived from
cytoplasm of bone marrow resident megakaryocytes
occurs in bone marrow sinusoids
thrombopoiesis
in bone marrow, sites of infection, but not peripheral blood
plasma cells
smallest granules, “lilac” color, the most nuclear lobes, bacteria-killing specialist
Neutrophils
immature neutrophil pumped out when fighting infection, could be confused with monocyte (C-shaped nucleus)
Band neutrophil
fights antigens, key cell of immune system
Lymphocytes
makes antibodies, not normally present in blood, looks like a soccer ball
B cells (plasma cells) (Lymphocytes)
cytotoxic, kills cells infected with virus
T cells (Lymphocytes)
largest blood cell, C-nucleus
Monocytes
Becomes macrophage after entering cell
Monocytes
