The white blood cell count measures the relative concentrations of white blood cells in a sample of blood - lymphocytes, basophils, neutrophils, megakaryocytes, eosinophils and monocytes.
What type of cell can differentiate into any kind of cell?
A stem cell can become any other type of specialized cell.
What type of stem cell can give rise to any type of cell in the body?
A totipotent stem cell found in embryos.
What type of cell does a strawberry have?
a octoploid plant cell.
What type of cell is a bacterial cell?
a prokaryote cell (: .... which means it does NOT have a defined nucleus
What Cell fragments produced from megakaryocytes are called?
megakaryocyte
Is thrombocytes a white blood cell?
Thrombocytes are platelets, derived from fragmentation of megakaryocytes. They are not white blood cells.
What do megakaryocytes do?
Megakaryocytes form Thrombocytes ( platelets) which function in the formation of blood clotting
What cell fragment forms platelets?
Megakaryocytes are the cells in the bone marrow which split up into several small platelets.
What are the fragments to form thrombocytes?
Thrombocytes, also known as platelets, are formed from the cytoplasm of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. Megakaryocytes undergo a process called cytoplasmic fragmentation, where they produce small, disc-shaped cell fragments that are released into the bloodstream as thrombocytes.
What organ or organ system is the platelets type a part of?
These are fragments of megakaryocytes found in the blood. They are part of the circulatory system.
Is thrombocyte a white blood cell?
Thrombocytes are platelets, derived from fragmentation of megakaryocytes. They are not white blood cells.
What is the medical term meaning giant multinucleate cell from which fragments to form platelets?
Megakaryocytes. Fragments constantly released from giant bone marrow cells.
What are platelets made up of?
megakaryocytes
Megakaryocytes fragment to produce?
platelets.
Why should platelets not be called cells?
Platelets are pieces of a larger cell called a megakaryocyte. They are not individual cells.
Where does thrombopoiesis occur?
formed in the bone marrow by megakaryocytes
