What is hematopoiesis?

The process of producing blood cells, beginning with a hematopoietic stem cell and going through various stages to become different blood cell types.

Hematopoietic Stem Cell (HSC)

A stem cell found in the bone marrow that can differentiate into all types of blood cells.

Common Myeloid Progenitor Cell (CMP)

A specific type of progenitor cell that can differentiate into red blood cells, platelets, and some white blood cells.

Common Lymphoid Progenitor Cell (CLP)

A specific type of progenitor cell that can differentiate into lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell.

Intrinsic Pathway of Coagulation

The intrinsic pathway is activated by contact with collagen exposed within a damaged blood vessel. This pathway involves a cascade of clotting factors, including factor XII, XI, IX, and VIII, leading to the activation of factor X.

Extrinsic Pathway of Coagulation

The extrinsic pathway is initiated by tissue factor (TF), also known as thromboplastin, released from damaged tissue cells. TF activates factor VII, setting off a cascade that ultimately leads to the activation of factor X.

Common Pathway of Coagulation

The common pathway begins with the activation of factor X, which converts prothrombin into thrombin. Thrombin then converts fibrinogen into fibrin, forming a stable clot.

Coagulation Factors

A protein found in the blood that, when activated, helps to form blood clots. Certain blood tests look for certain coagulation factors to assess how well blood clots.

Hemostasis

The process of stopping bleeding, involving a series of steps that ultimately creates a blood clot to seal the damaged blood vessel.

Study Notes

Hematopoiesis

  • Hematopoiesis is the formation of blood cells in the bone marrow.
  • It's a sequential process starting from a single cell, progressing through stages of change.
  • Substances in the blood guide cell differentiation, directing initial cells to form specific blood components (e.g., red blood cells or immune cells).

Hematopoiesis Pathway

  • Hematopoiesis begins with a Hematopoietic Stem Cell (HSC).
  • This cell branches into a Common Myeloid Progenitor (CMP) and a Common Lymphoid Progenitor (CLP).
  • The CMP pathway leads to various myeloid cells like RBCs, Platelets, Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils, Mast Cells, and Monocytes.
  • The CLP pathway branches to lymphocytes (T cells, B cells, and NK cells).

Primary and Secondary Hemostasis

  • Primary Hemostasis: Platelets clump together to form a plug at the site of injury.
  • Secondary Hemostasis: The platelet plug is strengthened by a fibrin mesh.

Primary Hemostasis Steps

  • Endothelial Injury: Vascular spasm reduces blood loss.
  • Exposure: Collagen below endothelial cells is exposed. Von Willebrand factor binds to the exposed collagen.
  • Adhesion: Circulating platelets bind to the von Willebrand factor via GP1B surface protein, attaching to the damaged area.
  • Activation: Platelet shape changes, spreading out "tentacle-like arms". Platelets release substances attracting more platelets. ADP and Thromboxane A2 cause platelets to express GPIIA/IIIA, fully activating them.
  • Aggregation: GPIIB/IIIA on platelets bind to fibrinogen, which can bind to multiple platelets, forming a clump.

Secondary Hemostasis

  • (Diagram needed to understand the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways converging on a common pathway to form fibrin. The details of this are missing in the original text).
