Medullary cavity of long and flat bone
Term
Whats the difference between Red and Yellow bone marrow?
Definition

Red: is actively making blood.

Yellow: has been replaced by fat. Happens with age.

Term
What is the structure of bone marrow?
Definition

Stroma: connective tissue. place for cells to sit.

Hematopoietic cords: blood forming cells

Sinusiods: point of entry inot circulation.

Term
What bone destroying cell is also a macrophage?

What are the fuctions of bone marrow?
Definition

1. Hematopoiesis (blood making)

2. Part of Reticulo-Endothelial system

   -System of macrophages that clean.

   -include the macrophages and where they live

3. Hemoglobin breakdown.

  

Term
What is Bilirubin?
Definition

Product of Heme(Porphyrin)/Hemoglobin breakdown associated with Bone Marrow function.

Makes stool brown.

Term
Whatis Transferrin?
Definition

A glycoprotein that transfers Iron in blood plasma.

Term
What is Ferritin?
Definition

A globular protein complex that stores Iron?

Called apoferritin when it doesnt have iron.

Term
What are Colony-forming cells/units (CFC or CFU)?
Definition

When grown in a culture, these cells will give rise to a group (colony) of hematopoietic cells.

In between stages.

They all differntiate into the same final product.

Term
What are Cytokines?
Definition

Chemical growth factors

Made by: Bone marrow stroma (firbroblasts and endothelial cells), Macrophages, T-lymphocytes.

Term
What are characteristics of most "Blast" cells
Definition

Large size

Large nucleus, sometimes with nucleoli.

Blue cytoplase, lots of protein synthesis

 

Term

What can you stain for to find out if you are seeing a megakaryocyte?

Definition

vWF

Term
What can you stain for in a T-Lymphocyte?
Definition
CD4
Term
What can you stain for to see if you have a mature nuetrophil?
Definition
LFA-1 (intergrin)
Term
What is the Monophyletic theory?
Definition
Everything comes from a single type of stem cell.
Term

What are the Growth Factors for Pluripotent Stem Cells?

Definition

Stem Cell Factor (SCF): required for division.

earlier acting cytokines:

-Interleukins (IL) 1, 3, 6, 11; Flt3 ligand

   -required for stem cell survival

Term
Growth Factors for CFU-GM (Granulocyte/Macrophage(which is a monocyte))
Definition

GM-CSF (Granulocyt/Macrophage colony) and everything that stem cells need.

Term
Growth factor for Granulocytes?
Definition

G-CSF (Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor)

Term
Monocyte Growth Factor?
Definition

M-CSF (Monocyte Colony Stimulating Factor)

Term
Easinophils Growth Factor?
Definition
Interleukin-5
Term
Magakaryocyte Growth Factor?
Definition

Thrombopoetin

GM-CSM

Earlier acting Cytokines

Term
BFU-E (Blast Forming Units-Erythroid) growth factor?
Definition

Erthythropoietin

-GM-CSF, IL-3, SCF

Term
How is Erthropoietin used in a clinical setting?
Definition

Increases Hematocrit(% of RBC) in people with renal failure, HIV

Term
How is G-CSF used in a clinical setting?
Definition

Used to increase neutrophiles in people recieving chemotherapy.

Term
How is Thrombopoeitin used in a clinical setting?
Definition

Used to increase Platelets in people recieving chemotherapy.

Term
What is Aplastic Anemia and what are possible ways to treat it?
Definition

Bone marrow does not produce suffient enough cells to replace blood cells.

Early growth factors may be useful(GM-CSF, SCF)... Tend to effect vascular system cause capillary permeability and fluid leak.

Term
Erythropoesis Overview
Definition

Proerthroblast, Large nucleus, very dark blue cytoplasm→

Nucleus gets smaller, cytoplasm changes from dark blue to gray→

Nucleus is extruded, cyroplasm becomes pink.

Term

Reticulocyte

Erthrocyte

Term
How does abnormal Hemeglobin production effact an Erythrocyte?
Definition
Unhealthy cytoplasm.
Term
What is the cause of abnormal nuclear development in Erythrocytes?
Definition

B12 and folic acid deficiencies.

Has something to do with DNA

Term

-Excessive hematopoiesis (any type)

-Cause death by tissue infiltration and imparing the functions of normal organs.

-Malignant cells from other organs can also metastasize (migrate) to the bone marrow.
