Study Notes
Hemopoiesis and Related Terms
- Hemopoiesis is known as "hematopoiesis" in American English, referring to the process of blood cell formation.
Migration of Hematopoietic Stem Cells
- Hematopoietic stem cells migrate to the liver during fetal development, primarily around the 6-8 week gestational period, playing a vital role in early blood cell production.
Residence of Hematopoietic Stem Cells
- In adults, hematopoietic stem cells are primarily located in the bone marrow, which serves as the main site for blood cell generation.
Development of Anemia
- The term "anemia" describes the condition characterized by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin, leading to reduced oxygen transport in the body.
Components of the Hemopoietic System
- The two main components of the hemopoietic system are:
- Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs): Undifferentiated cells that can develop into various blood cells.
- Supporting Microenvironment: Includes stromal cells and extracellular matrix, essential for the maintenance and differentiation of HSCs.
