Kultur Dokumente
• Adipocytes, macrophages,
undifferentiated mesenchyme, reticular
cells
• Serves as storage area for nutrients
(fat) and reserve hematopoietic tissue
Erythrocyte Development
• Proerythroblast
• Basophilic erythroblast
• Polychromatophilic erythroblast
• Orthochromatophilic erythroblast
(normoblast)
• Reticulocyte
• Erythrocyte
Cellular Changes During
Differentiation
• Decrease cell volume
• Shrinkage/loss of nucleolus
• Decrease nuclear volume
• Increased nuclear density to pyknosis
• Decreased cytoplasmic basophilia
• Increased eosinophilia (inc. hemoglobin)
Proerythroblast
• 14-19 µm dia
• Large spherical nucleus
• Basophilic cytoplasm (ribosomes)
Basophilic Erythroblast
•12-17 µm
•Increased cytoplasmic basophilia
•Increased nuclear heterochromatin
Proerythroblast Basophilic erythroblast
Polychromatophilic Erythroblast
• 12-15 µm dia
• Cytoplasmic patches of eosinophilia
• Nucleus smaller and heterochromatic
Orthochromatophilic Erythroblast
• 8-12 µm dia
• Eosinophilic cytoplasm
• Nucleus shrunken and pyknotic
Polychromatophilic Orthochromatophilic
erythroblast erythroblast
Reticulocytes
• 9 µm dia
• Nucleus extruded
• Some organelles still present
• Basophilic granularity in cytoplasm
• Very hard to find in slides; special stains needed
• During final maturation organelles break down
Erythrocyte Differentiation
Promyelocyte
• <15 µm
• Spherical nucleus
• Cytoplasm basophilic
• Azurophilic granules
Myelocyte
• 10-12 µm dia
• Nucleus ovoid, eccentric
• Granule formation beginning
Metamyelocyte
Monocytes
• Large promonocyte
• Circulate about 8 hrs then enter tissue
• May function there for several weeks
Platelet Formation
