Sickle cell anemia. Hemoglobin S is produced instead of A, due

to valine being substituted for glutamic acid on the 6th position

of the Beta chain. Hemoglobin S aggregates to form a tactoid

structure that forms a sickle shape at low O2 tensions.

.....ANSWER..... What is a chronic hemolytic anemia resulting from

an inherited alteration of the globin chain? What characterizes

it?

Bone marrow. 4% .....ANSWER..... What is one of the largest

organs in the body? What % does it comprise of body weight?

Posterior superior iliac crest. Sternum, but is more dangerous

because it is thinner and can be punctured easier. Top of tibia

below the knee. .....ANSWER..... What is the most common site for

bone marrow sampling in adults? What is the site used when this

cannot be reached? Site for infants and kids?

All bones in infants, only flat bones in adults. .....ANSWER.....

Where is bone marrow in infants and adults?

Main artery enters and branches to the periphery to form

vascular sinuses. Sinuses combine to form veins to reenter to

circulation. Just outside the sinuses are hematopoietic cords

containing cells. .....ANSWER..... What is the structure of the bone

marrow?

Through fenestrations in the lining cells of the sinus, which are

basically adjustable holes between epithelial cells.

.....ANSWER..... After maturation, how do cells enter the sinus?

Macrophages bring iron to the RBCs. .....ANSWER..... RBCs are

inside a sinus, around a macrophage. Why?

Stromal cells. Reticulum that extends into the marrow cords, fat,

histiocytes, and endothelial cells. .....ANSWER..... What forms the

formation and support network inside the bone? What is it

comprised of?

Osteoblasts. Osteoclasts. Core biopsy. .....ANSWER..... Which

cells are bone forming? Bone destroying? Where can both of

these be seen?

Around a spicule .....ANSWER..... Where should a differential be

done on a bone marrow slide?

It supplies mature cells for circulation in a steady state or for

increased demand. Maintained by pluripotent stem cells. Cells

proliferate according to the stimulus they receive. .....ANSWER.....

What is the function of bone marrow? What is bone marrow self

renewal maintained by? How do cells what to proliferate into?

RBCs - 120 days. WBCs - 5-20 days. .....ANSWER..... What is the

lifespan of RBCs and WBCs?

Only when it is necessary to diagnose them or treat them.

.....ANSWER..... When should you aspirate a patient?

Anemia, polycythemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytosis.

.....ANSWER..... Which diseases affect bone marrow composition?

Metastasizing tumors that have spread to the bone marrow such

as Hodgkin's lymphoma. Causes a spot of BM to not be able to

produce and will prevent a sample being taken from that area.

A fever of unknown origin will also affect BM production.

Hereditary diseases such as Gaucher (a storage pool disease)

will also affect. .....ANSWER..... What diseases would affect the

production of bone marrow?

Try to match the site by going to other side. Only aspirate

sternum if absolutely necessary. .....ANSWER..... If a tumor is
