25
What happens in the bone marrow aspiration ?
- a needle is inserted through the skin until it penetrates bone
26
Where the preferred anatomical site of the bone marrow aspiration ?
Hip Bone
27
How is a small amount of bone marrow obtained by bone marrow aspiration ?
applying negative pressure with a syringe attached to the needle
28
Intact bone marrow is obtained how ?
- by a small incision in the skin to allow the biopsy needle to pass into the bone
29
What is the bone marrow core biopsy used for ?
- diagnose and stage different types of cancer or monitor the results of chemotherapy
30
Megakaryocyte
forming cell
31
Megakaryoblast
last cell capable of mitosis (endomitosis)
32
Megakaryocyte
platelets, with a multilobulated nucleus
33
In the megakaryocyte what is the difference in chromosomes and cytoplasms
- the chromosomes divide | - cytoplasm does not divide
34
Thrombopoietin
- causes hormonal stimulation | - platelet-producing
35
What is the erythrocytes movement to sinusoid capillary ?
- use pressure gradient
36
What is the leukocytes cell movement to sinusoid capillary ?
have motility
37
What happens to the pressed abluminal plasma and the luminal membrane ?
gets fused
38
What does the transitory opening allow ?
- passage of cells or processes
39
What happens to the aperture ?
repaired
40
In adults where do platelets originate in ?
red bone marrow by fragmentation of the cytoplasm of mature megakaryocytes
41
Where does the RBC's develop from?
multipotential myeloid stem cells in bone
42
What is the development of the RBC's influenced by ?
Erythropoietin and some cytokines
43
What is the basic process of RBC maturation ?
- synthesis of hemoglobin | - formation of an enucleated, biconcave small corpuscle
44
What are the major changes during the process of maturation?
- cell volume decreases - Nucleoli diminish in size - nuclear diameter decreases - Chromatin becomes increasingly dense - Thickened and reduced in size
45
What happens when there is maturation of erythrocytes ?
the cytoplasmic basophilia (ribosomes) decreases, while acidophilia (hemoglobin) simultaneously increases
46
What happens to the cytoplasm when going from proerythroblast to erythrocytes ?
- continuous increase in cytoplasmic hemoglobin concentration
47
What happens to the nuclear volume when going from proerythroblast to erythrocytes ?
- gradual decrease in nuclear volume
48
What happens to the chromatin condensation when going from proerythroblast to erythrocytes ?
increase
49
Reticulocyte
still an immature erythrocyte | - that will loose its mitochondria and ribosomes
50
What happens when the nucleated RBC are seen on adult's peripheral blood smear ?
suggests that there is a very high demand for the bone marrow to produce RBCs
51
What could be the pathologic causes if there is an increase amount of reticulocytes and less erythrocytes ?
- Anemia, Thalassemia, Miliary, Tuberculosis, cancers and chronic hypoxemia
52
Myeloblast
large cell, euchromatic nucleus; large nuclear-to-cytoplasm volume
53
Promyelocyte
large cell, large nucleus; cytoplasm: large blue/black azurophilic granules produced only in this stage
54
Myelocyte
development of a specific cytoplasmic granules, nucleus flatted on one side
55
Metamyelocyte
smaller cell, more heterochromatin | - more specific neutrophilic granules
56
When is the band form seen?
in the neutrophilic series
57
Neutrophilic Myelocyte
- accumulation of specific granules occurs | - first site of development of a specific type of Granulocyte series ( neutrophilic, eosinophils, or basophilic)
58
Where monocytes produced ?
bone marrow from a bipotential stem cell
59
What does the monocytes differentiate into ?
macrophages
60
What are lymphocytes derived from ?
- multipotential lymphoid stem cells
61
Lymphocyte maturation
- nuclear chromatin becomes more compact | - cells decrease in size
62
Anaplastic Anemia
pancytopenia, reduction in the number of erythrocytes, all white blood cells, and platelets in blood circulation
63
Hypocellular Bone Marrow
consists largely of adipose tissue
64
What is the treatment for anaplastic anemia ?
- bone marrow transplantation
