Platelet precursor formed in the bone marrow?
The precursor cell to blood platelets are megakaryocyte precursor (MkP) cells in the bone marrow.
In formation of blood cells the megakaryoblast ultimately develops into?
The megakaryoblast undergoes endomitoses (the nucleus becomes polyploid and the cell does not divide) and ultimately develops into megakaryocyte. The successive stages are Megakaryoblast -> Promegakaryocyte -> Megakaryocyte Megakaryocyte produces thrombocytes, that is fragments of megakraryocyte' cytoplasm.
What are the ancestral cell of platelets?
Megakaryocyte
Responsible for clotting of blood?
Platelets, also known as thrombocytes or megakaryocyte fragments, are responsible for blood clotting.
What is megakaryocytei?
Megakaryocyte is a bone marrow cell. This cell is responsible for the production of blood thrombocytes, also known as platelets. These platelets are necessary for blood clotting.
Red blood cells megakaryocyte eosinophil basophil monocyte neutrophil and lymphoctes are all examples of what?
formed elements
What is the ancestral cell of platelets?
megakaryocyte
What is the definition of blood platelet?
Fragments of a large precursor cell (a megakaryocyte) found in the bone marrow. These fragments adhere to areas of blood vessel damage and release chemical signals that direct the formation of a blood clot.
Where is a megakaryocyte located?
Magakaryocytes are normally found only in the bone marrow, releasing their contents (platelets) into the blood. However, in certain disorders, MDS for example, they can be found abnormally in the blood (in this case as micromegakaryocytes).
What is the definition of ancestral cell of platelets?
This is known as a megakaryocyte.
What Cell fragments produced from megakaryocytes are called?
megakaryocyte
Which is the parent cell for all formed elements of blood?
Hematopoietic stem cells.multipotent stem cellsplasmaproerythroblastsstem cells
