■ Major hemopoietic organ distinguished and simply resemble large lymphocytes.
● Stem cells divide at a rate only sufficient to maintain their
relatively small population
● Progenitor and precursor cells divide more rapidly, producing
large numbers of differentiated, mature cells
● Hemopoiesis depends on a microenvironment, or niche, with
specific endocrine, paracrine, and juxtacrine factors.
○ These requirements are provided largely by the local cells and
extracellular matrix (ECM) of the hemopoietic organs,
● Hemopoietic growth factors
○ often called colony-stimulating factors (CSF) or cytokines
○ are glycoproteins that stimulate proliferation of progenitor and
precursor cells and promote cell differentiation and maturation
within specific lineages.
MEDICAL APPLICATION
● Hemopoietic growth factors
○ important products of biotechnology companies
○ used clinically to increase marrow cellularity and blood cell
counts in patients with conditions such as severe anemia or
during chemo- or radiotherapy, which lower white blood cell
counts (leukopenia).
○ Such cytokines may also increase the efficiency of marrow
transplants by enhancing cell proliferation, enhance host
defenses in patients with infectious and immunodeficient
diseases, and improve treatment of some parasitic diseases.

○ Cell and nuclear volumes decrease, while the nucleoli
diminish in size and disappear.
○ Chromatin density increases until the nucleus presents a
pyknotic appearance and is finally extruded from the cell.
○ There is a gradual decrease in the number of polyribosomes
(basophilia), with a simultaneous increase in the amount of
hemoglobin (a highly eosinophilic protein).
○ Mitochondria and other organelles gradually disappear
○ requires approximately a week and involves three to five cell
divisions between the progenitor cell stage and the release of

● Basophilic erythroblast
○ slightly smaller with cytoplasmic basophilia and a more
condensed nucleus
○ The basophilia is caused by the large number of free
polysomes synthesizing hemoglobin
● Polychromatophilic erythroblast
○ cell volume is reduced
○ polysomes decrease
○ some cytoplasmic areas begin to be filled with hemoglobin,
producing regions of both basophilia and acidophilia in the cell
● Orthochromatophilic erythroblasts
○ Normoblasts
○ Cell and nuclear volumes continue to condense and
basophilia is gradually lost, producing cells with uniformly
acidophilic cytoplasm
○ Late in this stage the cell nucleus is ejected and undergoes
phagocytosis by macrophages
● Reticulocyte
○ The cell still retains a few polyribosomes which, when treated
with the dye brilliant cresyl blue, form a faintly stained network
○ enter the circulation (where they may constitute 1% of the red
blood cells), quickly lose all polyribosomes
○ Mature as erythrocytes.
MEDICAL APPLICATION
● Red bone marrow
○ contains stem cells that can produce other tissues in addition
to blood cells
● Stem cells
○ These pluripotent cells may make it possible to generate
specialized cells that are not rejected by the body because
they are produced from stem cells from the marrow of the
same patient.
○ The procedure is to collect bone marrow stem cells, cultivate
them in appropriate medium for their differentiation to the cell
type needed for transplant, and then use the resulting cells
to replace defective cells.
● These studies in regenerative medicine are at early stages, but
results with animal models are promising.
HISTOLOGY 2 of 16
, Hemopoiesis
● Granulopoiesis:
○ Myeloblast
■ most immature recognizable cell in the myeloid series
■ have finely dispersed chromatin, and faint nucleoli
○ Promyelocyte
■ characterized by basophilic cytoplasm and azurophilic
granules containing lysosomal enzymes and
myeloperoxidase
■ Different promyelocytes activate different sets of genes,
resulting in lineages for the three types of granulocytes
○ Myelocyte
■ first visible sign of this differentiation appears
■ specific granules gradually increase in number
○ Metamyelocyte
■ Specific granules occupy most of the cytoplasm
■ These neutrophilic, basophilic, and eosinophilic
metamyelocytes mature with further condensation of their
nuclei.
○ Band cell
■ Intermediate stage for neutrophilic granulocyte before its
complete maturation
■ The nucleus is elongated but not yet polymorphic
MEDICAL APPLICATION
● “Shift to the left”
○ The appearance of large numbers of immature neutrophils
(band cells) in the blood
○ clinically significant, usually indicating a bacterial infection
● The vast majority of granulocytes are neutrophils
● Total time required for a myeloblast to produce mature,
circulating neutrophils : ranges from 10 to 14 days
● Five mitotic divisions normally occur during the myeloblast,
promyelocyte, and neutrophilic myelocyte stages.
● developing and mature neutrophils exist in four functionally and
anatomically defined compartments:
○ (1) the granulopoietic compartment in active marrow
○ (2) storage as mature cells in marrow until release
MATURATION OF GRANULOCYTES ○ (3) the circulating population
● Granulopoiesis ○ (4) a population undergoing margination

certain different properties
