HEMATOPOIESIS

GENERAL BLOOD MORPHOLOGY

 55% plasma
o 91.5% water
o 8.5% solutes
 Albumin (55%)
 Globulins (38%)
 Fibrinogen (7%)
 Miscellaneous (electrolytes, non-protein nitrogen
compounds like urea, uric acid etc.)
 45% formed elements
o 44% RBC
o 1% WBC and PLT

BLOOD CELL MORPHOLOGY

ERYTHROCYTES (RED BLOOD CELLS)
 Read where they don’t overlap (unless WBC count is <2)
 Consists of plasma membrane that surrounds Hgb and electrolytes
 Biconcave disc ~7-8um in size
 90fL volume
 Central portion of the cell creates an area of central pallor
o Fairly uniform in shape and size
o No nucleus or inclusions
 Mature RBCs
o Not able to synthesize hemoglobin
o Anucleated (lack nucleus)
o No mitochondria or ribosomes
o Pliable, flexible, and deformable

PLT
 1-4um
 Vary in shape
 Reddish-purple granules in small amounts fi bluish cytoplasm
 Average of 7-15 PLTs per oil immersion field
 Estimate the number in 10 fields when reading
 PLTs contain molecules needed for hemostasis

, LEUKOCYTES
Granulocytes:
 Multinucleated
 Lobed nuclei
 Three types:
o Neutrophil
o Eosinophils
o Basophils
Monocytes:
 One nucleus
 Lobed nuclei
Lymphocytes:
 One nucleus
 Non-lobed nuclei

Immature cells of any type are abnormal. All cells play a role in immune
function.

NEUTROPHILS 50-70%
Segmented:
 3-4 lobes
o Hyper-segmented:
abnormally high number of
lobes in a neutrophil
 Chromatin is heavily clumped,
coarse or pyknotic
 Cytoplasm is light pink,
secondary granules pink-neutral
 Twice the size of RBC
 Segmentation allows nucleus to
pass through opening and focus on selected prey
 Secondary granules contain alk
phos

Bands: (2-6%)
