The haematopoietic system (spelled hematopoietic system in American English) is the system in the body involved in the creation of the cells of blood. [ 1 ] Structure
Diagram showing the development of different blood cells from haematopoietic stem cell to mature cells. Haematopoiesis (/ h ɪ ˌ m æ t ə p ɔɪ ˈ iː s ɪ s, ˌ h iː m ə t oʊ-, ˌ h ɛ m ə-/; [1] [2] from Ancient Greek αἷμα (haîma) 'blood' and ποιεῖν (poieîn) 'to make'; also hematopoiesis in American English, sometimes h(a)emopoiesis) is the formation of blood cellular ...
A blood cell (also called a hematopoietic cell, hemocyte, or hematocyte) is a cell produced through hematopoiesis and found mainly in the blood. Major types of blood cells include red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
Hi all, I have uploaded this image showing locations of fetal hematopoietic stem cells from Plos Biology to commons because I needed the German version of it. Just in case you would like to also include it in the English article, this note. the original figure legend is included in commons.
Increasing blood flow to the surface (e.g., during warm weather or strenuous exercise) causes warmer skin, resulting in faster heat loss. In contrast, when the external temperature is low, blood flow to the extremities and surface of the skin is reduced and to prevent heat loss and is circulated to the important organs of the body, preferentially.
Myeloid neoplasms always concern bone marrow cell lineage and are related to hematopoietic cells. Myeloid tissue can also be present in the liver and spleen [5] in fetuses, and sometimes even in adults as well, which leads to extramedullary hematopoiesis.
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are the stem cells [1] that give rise to other blood cells.This process is called haematopoiesis. [2] In vertebrates, the first definitive HSCs arise from the ventral endothelial wall of the embryonic aorta within the (midgestational) aorta-gonad-mesonephros region, through a process known as endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition.
• cortex the outer portion of any organ • cytoplasm the portion of a cell between the nucleus and the membrane • differentiation permanent changes to a cell developing over time and with cell division • granules grains found in many white blood cells, composed of defensive chemicals • hematopoietic that which gives rise to any blood ...
