Study Notes
Hematopoietic System
- The hematopoietic system consists of the bone marrow, liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and thymus.
- The system is responsible for blood cell production, differentiation, and development.
Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs)
- HSCs are the foundation of the adult hematopoietic system.
- The embryo produces the first adult repopulating HSCs.
Types of Human Stem Cells
- There are three types of human stem cells: totipotent, pluripotent, and multipotent.
- Totipotent stem cells:
- Present in the first few hours after fertilization.
- The most versatile type of stem cell.
- Can develop into any human cell type, including development from embryoblast.
- Pluripotent stem cells:
- Present several days after fertilization.
- Can develop into any cell type, except they cannot develop into a complete organism.
- Multipotent stem cells:
- Not mentioned in the provided text.
Hematopoiesis
- Hematopoiesis is the process of blood cell production, differentiation, and development.
- It is a crucial function of the hematopoietic system.
