Bone Marrow
BM consists of what?
What makes up the sinusoid?

Adventitial cells function and what do they produce?
Blood vessels, hematopoietic cells, and sinusoids
Endothelial lining, discontinuous basement membrane, & incomplete coving of adventitial cells
Hematopoietic compartment and peripheral circulation
Provide support for developing blood cells and produce reticular fibers & secrete cytokines

BM-Sinusoidal System
Describe the steps for newly formed blood cells to enter circulation
- Maturing blood cell/megakaryocyte process pushes against endothelial cell
- Fuse and pierce luminal plasma membrane (endothelial cell) –> forming opening
- Each blood cell/process squeezes through aperture and enters sinusoidal lumen
- Endothelial cell “repairs itself” and aperture disappears

Yellow BM retains hematopoietic potential and can convert back to red marrow, how does it repopulate with cells?
Adipose cells
Medullary cavity of adult bones no longer hematopoietically active (ribs, vertebrae, pelvis, shoulder girdle)
50:50, adipose:hematopoietic tissue
Repopulation by circulating stem cells
Cellularity of Bone Marrow
How to calculate normal cellularity?
Hypocellular marrow
