myeloid stem cells and lymphoid stem cells

two types of stem cells produces by multipotent stem cells in red bone marrow

Myeloid stem cells

give rise to red blood cells, platelets, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, and mast cells

Lymphoid stem cells

gives rise to lymphocyes and natural killer cells; continue its development in lymphoid tissue

progenitor cells

some of the myeloid stem cells dif ferentiate into _____ which are no lon ger capable of reproducing themselves and are committed to giving rise to more specific elements of blood

Erythrocytes

CFU-E produces _____

megakaryocytes

CFU-Meg produces _____, source of platelets

granulocytes and monocytes

CFU-GM produces ____

hemopoietic growth factors

regulate the differentiation and proliferation of particular progenitor cells

erythropoietin

increases the number of red blood cell precursors

kidneys

Erythropoietin is produced primarily by cells in _____

Thrombopoietin

stimulates the formation of platelets from mega karyocytes

liver

Thrombopoietin is produced by ____

Cytokines

small glycoprotein produced by cells; acts as local hormones

stimulate pro liferation of progenitor cells in red bone marrow and regulate the activities of cells involved in nonspecific defenses and immune responses

colony stimulating factors and interleukins

families of cytokines that stimulate the production of WBCs

hemoglobin

oxygen-carrier protein that gives blood its red color

globin

protein in hemoglobin that is composed of four polypeptide chains

heme

ringlike nonprotein pigment in hemoglobin

iron ion

found at the center of the heme ring that can combine reversibly with one oxygen molecule

Erythropoiesis

production of RBCs

Starts in the red bone marrow with precursor cell called proerythroblast

Hypoxia

Main stimulus for erythropoieis

Oxygen deficiency at the tissue level

reticulocyte count

measures the rate of erythropoiesis

Granular leukocytes

* neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils
* displays conspicuous granules with distinctive coloration that can be recognized under a light microscope

agranular leukocytes

* lymphocytes and monocytes
