Study Notes
- Monocytes and granulocytes share the same progenitor, GFU-GM, during monocytopoiesis
- Monocyte progenitor (promonocyte) has a bluish cytoplasm and numerous azurophilic granules (lysosomes)
- Every day, an average adult forms over 10 billion monocytes, which transform into macrophages after entering connective tissue
- In lymphopoiesis, hematopoietic stem cells produce myeloid and lymphoid stem cells
- Myeloid stem cells produce CFU-GEMM, while lymphoid stem cells produce CFU-L
- Some lymphoid stem cells migrate to the thymus and become T lymphocytes, while others differentiate into B lymphocytes within bone marrow
- Leukemias are malignant clones of leukocyte precursors that occur in bone marrow and lymphoid tissue
- Leukemias result in a highly cellular marrow, causing complications such as infection, hemorrhage, and anemia
- In myelogenous leukemia, bone marrow contains mostly leukemic cells, leading to a lack of normal hematopoiesis and peripheral cytopenias
- Platelets originate from the red bone marrow by fragmentation of megakaryocytes, which each produce 5,000 to 10,000 platelets
- Megakaryocytes form thin processes that cross the sinusoid wall and fragment at their tips to release platelets
- RBCs enter the bloodstream by a pressure gradient that exists across the sinusoid wall, while WBCs cross by their own activity (diapedesis)
- During monocytopoiesis, monocytes/macrophages and lymphocytes have the potential for further division, while granulocytes do not.
- Metastases to bone marrow can occur, such as metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma, which can be identified through markers like AE-1 and confirmed through bone scans and marrow biopsies.
