2. Hematopoietic System Lecture Objectives
• Describe the developmental stages of erythropoiesis.
• Describe the developmental stages of granulopoiesis.
• Describe the differences between red marrow and
yellow marrow.
• List the components of bone marrow stroma.
• Explain the concept of colony forming units (CFUs).
5. Hematopoietic Tissue
Specialized connective tissue.
Derived from mesenchyme.
Function: produce new blood cells and remove
old ones.
Two types of hematopoietic tissue
• Myeloid tissue (in bone marrow):
produces everything except lymphocytes
• Lymphoid tissue (in lymph nodes, spleen):
produces lymphocytes (different lecture!)
7. Myeloid Tissue (Bone Marrow)
• Bone marrow in adults is found between
trabeculae of cancellous (spongy) bone and in
the marrow canal of long bones.
• Red (hematopoietic) bone marrow is found in
flat bones of skull, vertebrae, ribs, pelvis, and
ends of long bones.
• Yellow bone marrow is found in long bone
diaphyses. It is composed of fibrous CT, adipose
tissue (yellow color), nerves, and blood vessels.
8. Components of Bone Marrow
• Stroma: a connective tissue network which
supports the blood-forming cells.
• Sinusoids: wide, thin-walled vessels with
discontinuous endothelial cells which allow
new blood cells to gain access to the
bloodstream.
• Developing blood cells: red cell precursors,
white cell precursors (except lymphoid
precursors), and megakaryocytes.
9. Stroma
Cells
• Fibroblasts
• Macrophages
• Adipocytes (fat cells)
• Osteogenic cells
• Endothelial cells
Fibers
• Type I collagen fibers
• Type III collagen
(reticular) fibers
10. Bone marrow is present between trabeculae of
spongy (cancellous) bones
13. Statement of Purpose:
The purpose of the International Academy of Classical Homeopathy is the
professional education of medical doctors, medical students and health practitioners
in order to become effective Classical Homeopaths, according to the principles of Dr.

intend to unite with more Universities and other academic
institutions, to organize fundamental international meetings, to
encourage high-quality cutting-edge research, to inform doctors
and patients about the immense curative potential of Classical
Homeopathy, and to honor the best research projects as well as the
best homeopaths from all over the world.
