  2. Haematopoietic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haematopoietic_system

    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

  3. Haematopoiesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haematopoiesis

    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 ...

  4. Blood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood

    Blood is a body fluid in the circulatory system of humans and other vertebrates that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells, and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.

  5. Blood cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_cell

    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).

  6. Hematopoietic stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematopoietic_stem_cell

    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.

  7. Myeloid tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myeloid_tissue

    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.

  9. Megakaryocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megakaryocyte

    The cytoplasm continues to expand and the DNA amount can increase up to 64n in humans and 256n in mice. Many of the morphological features of megakaryocyte differentiation can be recapitulated in non-hematopoietic cells by the expression of Class VI β-tubulin (β6) and they provide a mechanistic basis for understanding these changes.
