Hematopoiesis and Blood Cell Development

Front

Self-renewing cells, like HSCs, are crucial as they continuously produce new blood cells.

Back

Peripheral blood cells refer to the mature blood cells circulating in the bloodstream.

Front

The initial cell type in the diagram is the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC).

Back

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are important because they give rise to all blood cell types.

Types of Cells Produced in Embryonic Hematopoiesis

Back

Erythrocytes, Macrophages, Megakaryocytes

Front

The yolk sac endoderm is involved in primitive erythropoiesis.

Back

Primitive erythropoiesis occurs in the yolk sac endoderm.

Front

Definitive erythropoiesis

Back

Begins in the AGM region during embryonic development.

Replacement of embryonic hemoglobin during fetal development

Back

Hemoglobin F (Fetal) replaces embryonic hemoglobin.

Occurs during late fetal months

Lymph Nodes

Back

Part of the lymphatic system involved in blood cell regulation.

Role of Spleen

Back

Involved in filtering and destroying old blood cells.
