To the only girl i've ever loved, to soufia.
BLUE new in FA 2020
YELLOW text of FA 2019 was edited; the note box next to the yellow highlight will
show the difference between them the old text and the new text of FA 2020
Some pages might look scary! because of note boxes and highlighting , but it is
not, my recommendation for you is to study your book and after than look for the
new stuff and edits.. I DONT recommend comparing while you are studying since
it will consume your time.

When studying hematology, pay close attention to the many cross
connections to immunology. Make sure you master the different types
of anemias. Be comfortable interpreting blood smears. When reviewing
oncologic drugs, focus on mechanisms and adverse effects rather than
details of clinical uses, which may be lower yield.
Please note that solid tumors are covered in their respective organ
system chapters.

Fetal erythropoiesis Fetal erythropoiesis occurs in: Young Liver Synthesizes Blood.
Yolk sac (3–8 weeks)
Liver (6 weeks–birth)
Spleen (10–28 weeks)
Bone marrow (18 weeks to adult)
Hemoglobin Embryonic globins: ζ and ε.
development Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) = α2γ2. From fetal to adult hemoglobin:
Adult hemoglobin (HbA1) = α2β2. Alpha Always; Gamma Goes, Becomes Beta.
HbF has higher affinity for O2 due to less avid
binding of 2,3-BPG, allowing HbF to extract
O2 from maternal hemoglobin (HbA1 and
HbA2) across the placenta. HbA2 (α2δ2) is a
form of adult hemoglobin present in small
amounts.
