bone marrow production begins
|
5 months gestation
|
|
hematopoeisis begins
|
full term infant
|
|
hematopoesis continues where
|
axial and proximal appendicular skeleton
|
|
extramedullary hematopoiesis
|
fatt marrow can convert back to a more hematopoietic marrow; sleep and liver can revery back to being hematopoietic in this
|
|
bone marrow components
|
cords (hematopoeitic cells)
venous sinuses (endothelial cells and surrounded by BM) |
|
ROLE Of venous sinuses
|
collect mature cells and transport them into the blood
|
|
hematopoeitic elements and locations
|
erythroid precursors (adjacent to sinuses)
granuloctic precursors (deep in cord) megakaryocytes (adjacent to sinuses) |
|
accessory cells found in BM
|
stromal cells
fat cells fibroblasts macs monos lymphos |
|
all cells of hte body are derived from what type of cell
|
the hematopoietic stem cell
|
|
general chain of events from hematopoietic stem cell
|
stem cell
committed stem cell lymphoid or myeloid/erythroid lineage |
|
progenitors of erythrocytes
|
pluripotent hematopoietic cell -> common myeloid progenitor ->megakaryocyte/erythrocyte progenitory -> erythroblast -> erythrocyte
|
|
what happens when erythroblast turns into erythrocyte
|
-cell becomes smaller
-chromatin progresses from fine to coarse -nucleus is extruded -cytoplasm changes from blue to pinkish-red due to synthesis of Hb |
|
maturation sequence of erythrocyte
|
pronormoblast
basophilic normoblast polychromatophilic normoblast orthochromic normoblasts reticulocyte |
|
BFU-E vs CFU-E:
proliferative capacity |
BFU > CFU
|
|
BFU-E vs CFU-E:
receptors |
CFU > BFU
|
|
BFU-E vs CFU-E:
maturation |
BFU to CFU with IL3, GM-CSF, TPO, kit ligand
CFU to pronormoblast with EPO |
|
where is EPO made
|
renal peritubular intersitial cells or renal tubular cells
small amount made in liver |
|
effect of EPO
|
-induces Hb synthesis
-CFU-E to pronormoblasts -prevents apoptosis of RBC precursors |
|
embryonic Hbs cease prodcution when?
|
4 months gestation
|
|
gene location of Beta
|
chrom 11
|
|
gene location of alpha
|
2 on chromosome 16
|
|
heme synthesis precursors
|
glycine
succinyl-CoA |
|
heme synthesis location
|
Mi
cytosol |
|
control of heme synthesis
|
negative feedback loop
|
|
disorders of heme synthesis are known as
|
prophyrias
|
|
heme synthesis pathway
|
succinyl CoA + glycine
ALA PBG uroporphyrinogens coproporphyrinogen protoporphyrinogen heme |
|
porphyrias
|
Acute intermittent
Congenital erythropoietic Prophyria cutanea tarda Hereditary coproporphyria Variegate prophyria erythrocpoietic Protoprophyria |
|
clincial characteristics of porphyrias
|
skin leasions on sun-exposed areas and acute neurovisceral attacks characterized by abdominal pain, peripheral neuropathy, and mental disturbances
|
|
skin lesions are due to
|
porphytin-catalyzed photo damage
|
|
acute neurovisceral attacks are due to
|
increased production to delta-amino levulinic acid (ALA)
|
|
acute porphyrias
|
A
H V ALA |
|
nonacute porphyrias
|
C
P P |
|
lead poisoning effect on heme synthesis
|
lead causes and intracellular iron deficiency so that Zn replaces iron as substrate for ferrochelatase
-ALAD and COP inhibition -increases urinary ALA and coproporphyrinIII excretion -causes accumulation of Zn protoporphyrin in erythrocytes |
|
microscopic indications of lead poisoning
|
basophilic stippling
-lead interferes with ribosomal RNA breakdown, causing undegraded ribosomes to aggregate |
|
characteristics of reticulocyte
|
larger than mature RBC
bluer cytoplasm less central pallor |
|
what makes up the reticulum
|
RNA
polyribosomes degenerating organelles |
|
lifespan of reticulum
|
2 days in BM
1 day in PB removed by spleen |
|
