    Study Notes

    Bone Marrow Structure and Function

    • Red (hematopoietic) bone marrow is primarily found in the cavities of bones such as the pelvis, ribs, and sternum in adults.
    • Yellow bone marrow is primarily found in the shafts of long bones in adults.

    Hematopoietic Tissue

    • Hematopoietic tissue produces all blood cells except lymphocytes.
    • Hematopoietic tissue is responsible for producing red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

    Megakaryocytes and Platelets

    • Megakaryocytes undergo endomitosis, a process in which the nucleus undergoes multiple rounds of DNA replication without cell division.
    • Megakaryocyte nuclei can have up to 64 copies of normal DNA.
    • Platelets are produced from megakaryocytes.
    • The main function of platelets is to form blood clots and stop bleeding.

    Lymphocyte Development

    • B lymphocytes develop in the bone marrow.
    • T lymphocytes develop in the thymus.

    Hematopoietic Stem Cells

    • Hematopoietic stem cells give rise to all types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

    Bone Marrow Components

    • Bone marrow stroma consists of various components, including fat cells, macrophages, and reticular cells.
    • Bone marrow also contains sinusoids, which are special blood vessels.

    Erythrocytes

    • The main function of erythrocytes (red blood cells) is to carry oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues.
    • Erythrocytes have no nucleus in their mature form.
    • The developmental stages of erythropoiesis are: proerythroblast, basophilic erythroblast, polychromatic erythroblast, orthochromatic erythroblast, reticulocyte, and mature erythrocyte.

    Granulocytes

    • Granulocytes are a type of white blood cell that has a multilobed nucleus.
    • Granulocyte maturation in the bone marrow takes 10-14 days.
    • The function of granulocytes is to engulf and digest foreign particles and bacteria.

    Agranulocytes

    • Agranulocytes are a type of white blood cell that lacks granules in their cytoplasm.
    • The function of agranulocytes is to produce antibodies to fight infections.
