Study Notes

Embryonic Development

The first type of cell produced by the developing embryo is a hematopoietic stem cell.

Bone Marrow

The two best areas for obtaining active bone marrow by aspiration in an adult are the iliac crest and the sternum.
In adults, approximately 50% of tissue located in the bone marrow cavities is fat.

Bone Marrow Components

The normal ratio of myeloid to erythroid precursors in bone marrow (M:E ratio) is 3:1.
Pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells are characteristic for their ability to differentiate into all types of blood cells, except for having a fixed receptor for a specific antigen, which is characteristic of lymphoid cells.
