oxygen binds to iron

A
  • one oxygen molecule binds reversibly with one iron atom

than red blood cells. usually appear in clumps in blood smear. lighter stain
on outside. darker in the middle

47
Q

hematopoiesis function

A

To maintain constant level of different cell types in the blood

48

A

red bone marrow

50
Q

hematopoiesis includes what processes

A

erythropoiesis
leukopoiesis
thrombopoiesis

51
Q

Monophyletic Theory

A

All blood cells arise from a single type of pluripotent/ pluripotential stem cell (PPSC), a pluripotent cell known as a hemopoietic stem cell (HSC)]

52
Q

HSC characteristics

A
  • capable of asymmetric divison

- self renewal. each division they undergo they can produce new HSC cells.

53
Q

Descendants of the HSC can give rise to cells with a more restricted potential and two major cell lineages

A
  1. Common Myeloid Progenitor (CMP) Cells

2. Common Lymphoid Progenitor (CLP) Cells

54
Q

Common Myeloid Progenitor (CMP) Cells, where do they develop

A

give rise to the myeloid cells (i.e. granulocytes, monocytes, erythrocytes, and megakaryocytes); develop in bone marrow.

55
Q

Common Lymphoid Progenitor (CLP) Cells, where do they develop

A

give rise to lymphoid cells (i.e. lymphocytes); migrate from bone marrow to thymus or lymphoid tissue (e.g. lymph node, spleen) where they proliferate and differentiate.

56
Q

progenitor cells develop into what

A

precursor cells or blast

57
Q

precursor or blast cells

A
  • Morphological characteristics begin to differentiate.

* Large amount of mitosis – but only produce cells on the way to differentiation.

58
Q

which phases have low mitosis activity

A

stem cells and progenitor

59
Q

rate of mitosis and potentiality are _____ related

A

inversely

60
Q

bone marrow consists of what and what

A
sinusoidal capillaries (sinusoids) and
hemopoietic cords (very leakly capillaries, lots of holes, things can pass easily.)
61
Q

Hemopoietic Cords Consist Of:

A

developing blood cells, developing

megakaryocytes, macrophages, mast cells, and adipose cells.

62
Q

Adventitial Cell/Reticular Cells

A

• support cells; send sheet-like extensions into cords and produce reticular fibers • stimulate differentiation of progenitor cells

63
Q

Clusters/Nests, near sinusoids, away from sinusoids

A
  • Nest Near Sinusoids – Erythrocytes and Megakaryocytes

* Nest Further Away from Sinusoids – Granulocytes

64
