    Study Notes

    Theories of Hematopoiesis

    • The theory of separate stem cells proposes that each blood cell lineage is derived from its own unique stem cell.
    • The unitary theory suggests that all blood cells originate from a single progenitor stem cell.

    Phases of Hematopoiesis

    Mesoblastic/Megaloblastic Phase

    • This phase is characterized by the presence of megaloblasts as the predominant cell type.
    • The yolk sac is the chief site of blood cell formation during this phase.

    Hepatolymphatic Phase

    • This phase is characterized by the liver and spleen as the chief sites of blood cell formation, with contributions from the lymph nodes.
    • It occurs from the 9th week of fetal life and is characterized by the presence of normoblasts as the predominant cell type.

    Medullary/Myeloid Phase

    • This phase begins in the 5th month of gestation and continues throughout life.
    • The primary site of hematopoiesis during this phase is the bone marrow.

    Bone Marrow Aspiration

    • In adults, the typical site for bone marrow aspiration is the posterior superior iliac spine.
    • In children, the anterior superior iliac spine is typically used for bone marrow aspiration.
