Study Notes
Hematopoietic Tissue
- Bone marrow is the main hematopoietic tissue in the body.
Lymphocyte Production
- Lymphoid tissue produces lymphocytes through a process called lymphopoiesis.
Embryonic Development of Blood Cells
- The formation of blood cells appears during the mesoblastic phase of embryonic development.
Mesoblastic Phase
- During the mesoblastic phase, mesoderm differentiates into the primary endothelium of blood vessels and primitive basophilic cells.
Hepatic Phase
- The accumulation of basophilic cells during the hepatic phase of embryonic development is called hepatic hematopoiesis.
