When there are no cells, clotting factors, or clotting proteins, what do we have?
Serum!q
Plasm has...
clotting factors and clotting proteins! No RBC though.
When a pt is bleeding due to a lack of clotting factors we transfuse...
fresh frozen plasma!
In week 2 of the embryo where are RBCs being made?
Yolk sac aka mesoblastic phase (blood islands = immature RBC)
At 6 weeks where are RBC being made?
Liver (hepatic phase).
Where else are RBC made in the second trimester?
Spleen! Splenic phase.
At the end of the 2nd trimester where are RBC being made
Bone marrow (myeloid phase)
Where are RBCs ultimately made?
Long bone hematopoiesis gets replaced by the sternum and pelvic bones (fatty replacement in long bones)
What elements does the bone marrow have to aid in RBC production?
supporting structures like stromal stem cells and trabeculae. Trabeculae reach into BM and are the support and stromal cells have long branches that come off cytoplasm that interconnect and make a framework which is where the island of hematopoietic cells sit
Where are megakaryocytes?
Sit next to blood vessels and extend into cytoplasm. They split up and become platelets. NOT AN ACTUAL CELL.
What are the two pathways a hematopoietic stem cell can go down?
Myeloid or Lymphoid. Less able to self regenerate the further down the line they go.
What are some myeloid cells?
eosin, platelet, RBC, neutrophil, monocyte
Lymphoid cells?
T, B, NK
What do we call cells in between the progenitor stage and the neutrophil or any end of the line cell?
Precursors (unipotent) compared to progenitor which is multipotent! Does not include monocytes/megakaryocytes
What is the general pattern for developing cells? Size.. etc?
for example (proerythroblast --> erythroblast) cells get smaller as they mature and is true for all. Ratio of nucleus to cytoplasm changes and originally they have huge nuclei and huge cytoplasm.
What is a reticulocyte?
RBC pumped out a few days early usually due to anemia.

Also stab/band is a WBC produced early, perhaps due to infection
What is another name for a neutrophil?
When do they increase?
PMN
Due to infection. PUS.
What is the primary lymphoid cell seen in circulation?
T cell! B cells become plasma cells and secrete certain Abs.
What do plasma cells look like?
Fried egg. Nucleus off to side and chromatin is clumped and CLOCKED FACE.
What cells do not have granules?
Lymphocytes or monocytes. Light blue cytoplasm. Round nucleus around the size of a RBC.
What does a monocyte look like
kidney shaped nucleus. bigger. more cytoplasm.
What are characteristics of the lymphocytes?
Neutrophil
Eosinophil
Basophil
N- pale blue and pink granules in cytoplasm and nucleus with many lobes
E- red, binds eosin and has bilobed nucleus
B- dark blue/black granules and can often not see nucleus (S shaped) also have histamine to release
What are the % of cells in a blood count?
60% neutrophils, 30% lymphocytes, 5% eosinophils, small basophil amount.
What does collagen on the basement membrane do when endothelium is damaged?
Acts like velcro for platelets. Release substance to cause aggregation and they stick together. Endothelium also releases substances that promote clotting.
What hold the clot together?
platelets, RBC, fibrin, etc.
What is petechiae?
little bruises can be caused by rupture of BV
