How Well Do You Know about Granulopoiesis and Formed Elements of Blood?

1. Granulopoiesis involves myeloblasts, promyelocytes, myelocytes, and metamyelocytes.
2. Myeloblasts have large nuclei and little cytoplasm.
3. Promyelocytes produce lysosomal azurophilic granules.
4. Myelocytes form specific granules for one of the three types of granulocytes.
5. Metamyelocytes undergo characteristic changes in nuclear morphology.
6. Band cells are immature neutrophilic metamyelocytes released prematurely during bacterial infections.
7. Monoblasts produce monocytes in red marrow.
8. Lymphoblasts give rise to lymphocytes primarily in lymphoid tissues.
9. Megakaryocytes produce platelets by releasing them from proplatelets.
10. Formed elements of blood enter circulation by crossing the discontinuous endothelium of sinusoids in red marrow.
