Question

Demonstrate the types of blood cells with the flowchart.

Answer 1

Hint: These are stem cells and mainly get matured into three main types of cells— RBCs, WBCs, and platelets. Besides these three the blood cells are divided into different types.

Complete answer:
A blood cell is a stem cell and is also called a hematopoietic cell because it is produced through the process of hematopoiesis. The process of hematopoiesis occurs in the bone marrow and gives rise to other blood cells.
-The different types of blood cells are produced from the hematopoietic stem cells, these can be divided into two groups namely myeloid and lymphoid.
-The myeloid cells include erythrocytes, mast cells, megakaryocytes, and myeloblast cells.
-The megakaryocyte further gives rise to thrombocytes or platelets.
-The myeloblast cells further give rise to basophil cells, neutrophil cells, eosinophil cells, and monocytes.
-These monocytes further give rise to macrophages.
-The lymphoid cells include natural killer cells or large granular lymphocytes and small lymphocytes.
-The small lymphocyte cells further give rise to T lymphocytes or T cells and B lymphocytes or B cells.
-The B cells get converted into plasma cells.
-The hematopoietic stem cell has both long-term and short-term regeneration capabilities.
-For the treatment of cancers and other immune system disorders the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplants are used.
-The HSCs are multipotent and capable of extensive self-renewal.

Note:
-In the year 1961 the hematopoietic stem cells were first discovered.
-Major types of blood cells include red blood cells or erythrocytes, white blood cells or leukocytes, and platelets or thrombocytes.
-Among vertebrates animals, the majority of hematopoiesis occurs in the bone marrow and is derived from a limited number of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC).
-Both myeloid and lymphoid lineage is involved in dendritic cell formation.
