Study Notes
Sample Question
- A laboratory student consistently makes wedge-technique blood films that are too long and thin
- Correcting the issue would include moving the drop of blood closer to the center of the slide
- Increasing the acute angle of the pusher slide
Hematopoiesis
- Hematopoiesis is the process of blood cell formation
- CD34 is a classical marker for hematopoietic stem cells
- Hematopoiesis begins around the 19th day of embryonic development after fertilization
Two Related Theories
- Polyphyletic Theory: Suggests each blood cell lineage originates from a unique stem cell
- Monophyletic Theory: Suggests all blood cells originate from a single pluripotential stem cell (PSC)
- The most widely accepted theory amongst hematologists is the monophyletic theory
Three Phases of Hematopoiesis
-
Mesoblastic/Megaloblastic:
- Chief site: Yolk Sac
- First blood cells: Primitive Erythroblasts (PE) produced during the first 2 to 8 weeks of life
- PE are important in early embryo-genesis to produce hemoglobin (Gower-1, Gower-2, and Portland) which is essential for the delivery of oxygen to embryonic tissues
- Yolk sac hematopoiesis occurs intravascularly (within developing blood vessels) which differs from later hematopoiesis occurring in the fetal and adult stages.
-
Hepatic:
- Chief site: Fetal Liver
- Hemoglobin: Hb F (Fetal hemoglobin) is dominant during the phase
- Organs: Thymus (first fully developed organ in the fetus, increases in size during fetal development, major site of T cell production), Kidneys and Spleen (produce B cells)
-
Intramedullary/Medullary/Myeloid:
- Chief site: Red Bone Marrow
- Hematopoiesis starts in the bone marrow cavity before the 5th month of fetal development.
- Bone marrow becomes the chief site by the end of 24 weeks' gestation
