Erythrocyte Maturation Order

Rubriblast → Prorubricyte → Basophilic rubricyte → Polychromatophilic reticulocyte → Metarubricyte → Reticulocyte

Granulocyte

A type of white blood cell characterized by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils are granulocytes.

Final Stage of Thrombopoiesis

The final stage involves the cytoplasm breaking apart into fragments, which become platelets.

Plasma

The liquid component of blood in which blood cells are suspended; contains water, salts, proteins, and other substances.
