Haematopoiesis is the making of blood. Problems in haematopoiesis are numberous and the domain of hematology and hematopathology.
Normal haematopoiesis
Microscopic
One should see three cell lines:[1]
- Erythroid cells.
- Myeloid cells.
- Megakaryocytes.
Images:
Extramedullary haematopoiesis
- Abbreviated EMH.
General
- In adults it is a compensatory mechanism for bone marrow dysfunction.
Locations:[3]
Microscopic
Features:
- Erythroid cells - esp. nucleated red blood cells.
- Myeloid - granulocytes and granulocyte precursors.
- Megakaryocytes - Large cells (50-100 μm) with abundant cytoplasm.
- Make platelets.
