23
Q

MATURATION OF ERYTHROCYTES

Several major changes take place during erythropoiesis:

A

Cell and nuclear volumes decrease

Nucleoli diminish in size and disappear

Chromatin density increases until the nucleus presents a pyknotic appearance and is finally extruded from the cell.

There is a gradual decrease in the number of polyribosomes (basophilia)

Increase in the amount of hemoglobin (a highly eosinophilic protein)

Mitochondria and other organelles gradually disappear

24
Q

MATURATION OF ERYTHROCYTES
