What are the ancestral cell of platelets?
Megakaryocyte
What is the ancestral cell of platelets?
megakaryocyte
What is the definition of ancestral cell of platelets?
This is known as a megakaryocyte.
What Cell fragments produced from megakaryocytes are called?
megakaryocyte
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.
Can platelets divide?
Hematopoietic stem cellprecursor cells in the bone marrow when reaches megakaryocyte stage it loses its ability to divide.Once the cell has completed differentiation and become a mature megakaryocyte, it begins the process of producing platelets.
Are megakaryocytes a type of cell?
largest cell found in the bone marrow, and it forms platelets by shedding pieces of its cytoplasm (also called "cytoplasmic fragmentation").
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.
What large Cell breaks into cytoplasmic fragments that become platelets?
Another said that it is a bizarre Multinucleate Cell called a Megakaryocyte. Also we find - Myeloid Stem Cells.
Which is the parent cell for all formed elements of blood?
Hematopoietic stem cells.multipotent stem cellsplasmaproerythroblastsstem cells
Why should platelets not be called cells?
Platelets are pieces of a larger cell called a megakaryocyte. They are not individual cells.
