Cards

Term
Hematopoiesis 18th day after fertilization
Definition
extraembryonic location, the yolk sac
Term
intraembryonic hematopoiesis
Definition
aorta-gonads-mesonephro region
Term
3rd month of fetal development
Definition
spleen, kidney, lymph nodes and thymus
Term
late fetal and neonatal stages --> 6th month of gestation
Definition
bone marrow
Term
Yolk Sac
Definition
produces erythrocytes and macrophages
Term
AGM
Definition
primitive erythrocytes and lymphocytes
Term
Liver
Definition
erythroid, myeloid and lymphoid cells
Term
Primary Lymphoid Tissues
Definition
Bone marrow and thymus
Term
Primary Lymphoid function
Definition
develop T and B cells from nonfunctional precursors
Term
Secondary Lymphoid Tissues
Definition
Spleen and lymph nodes
Term
Secondary Lymphoid function
Definition
posses immunocompetent T and B cells in response to antigen
Term
Hypersplenism
Definition
spleen becomes enlarged through exaggeration of is normal activities of filtering and phagocytosis and cause anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia or other combinations of cytopenias (decrease)
Term
Conditions for Hypersplenism
Definition
(1) presence of anemia, leukopenia, or thrombocytopenia in the peripheral blood (2) existence of a cellular or hyperplastic bone marrow corresponding to the peripheral blood cytopenia and (3) occurence of splenomegaly (enlargement)
Term
Primary hypersplenism
Definition
occurs when no underlying disease can be identified
Term
secondary hypersplenism
Definition
secondary to workload hypertrophy of the spleen
Term
Lymphadenopathy
Definition
enlargement of the lymph nodes by expansion of the tissue within the node
Term
causes of lymphadenopathy
Definition
inflammation of the lymph node, prolonged immune response to infectious agents, malignant transformation of lymphocytes or macrophages or metastatic tumors that originate in extranodal sites
Term
Bone Marrow Hyperplasia
Definition
excessive development of hematopoietic cells which occurs with all conditions of increased or ineffective hematopoiesis
Term
Changes that lead to Bone Marrow hyperplasia
Definition
hematopoietic tissue becomes inactive and fat cells increase caused by acute blood loss, chronic anemia or leukemia
Term
extramedullary hematopoiesis
Definition
blood cell production in hematopoietic tissue other than the bone marrow
Term
changes that lead to extramedullary hematopoiesis
Definition
hyperplasia of the marrow does not meet the physiologic needs of the tissues, usually accompanied by splenomegaly
Term
sites of extramedullary hematopoiesis
Definition
liver and spleen
Term
Bone Marrow
Definition
blood forming tissue in spongy bone, composed of vascular and hematopoietic compartments
Term
Spleen
Definition
enclosed by a capsule of connective tissue, made up of three zones of tissue (1) white pulp (2) red pulp (3) marginal zone
Term
White Pulp
Definition
composed of lymphocytes and germinal centers, located around a central artery
Term
Red Pulp
Definition
contains sinuses and cords
Term
marginal zone
Definition
surround the white pulp
Term
Lymph nodes
Definition
bean-shaped organs in groups or chains along the larger lymphatic vessels, contain an outer cortex and an inner medulla
Term
Thymus
Definition
outer cortex and inner medulla
Term
Adipocyte
Definition
one of the three major cells that make of the stroma, cytoplasm replaced by a fat vacuole, control the volume of bone marrow in which active hematopoiesis takes place
Term
Culling
Definition
discriminatory spleen filtering and destruction of senescent or damaged red cells
Term
Endosteum
Definition
the inner lining of the cortical bone
Term
Erthroblastic Island
Definition
single macrophage surrounded by erythroblasts in varying stages of maturation, development site of erythroblasts
Term
Germinal center
Definition
location of activated B cells in the spleen
Term
Lymphoid follicle
Definition
location of the germinal centers on the spleen
Term
Osteoblast
Definition
involved in the formation of calcified bone and provide a niche for resting hematopoietic stem cells
Term
Osteoclast
Definition
cells related to macrophages that are involved in resoprtion and remodeling of calcified bone
Term
Pitting
Definition
spleens ability to pluck out particles from intact red blood cells without destroying them
Term
Reticular cell
Definition
supports endothelial cells in the sinuses, they gather into one collecting sinuses which opens into a vein, produce reticular fibers which contribute to the 3-D supporting network that holds the vascular sinuses and hematopoietic elements
Term
Stroma
Definition
support tissue of the bone marrow, forms a favorable microenvironment for sustained proliferation of hematopoietic cells
Term
Trabecula
Definition
projection of calcified bone extending from cortical bone into the marrow space, it provides support for the marrow cells
Term
Peyer's Patches
Definition
lymph nodes
Term
Hypersplenism associated with compensatory hypertrophy of the spleen
Definition
seen when splenic macrophages accumulate large amounts of undigestible substances
