Which of the following is the largest hematopoietic cell in the bone marrow?

Granular megakaryocytes are the largest hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow. The duration from formation of megakaryoblasts to platelet production is about 1 week. Platelets are released into the bloodstream with a proportion (approximately one-third) pooled in the spleen.

What are the largest cells in the bone marrow?

nucleus) of cells known as megakaryocytes, the largest cells of the marrow. Within the marrow the abundant granular cytoplasm of the megakaryocyte divides into many small segments that break off and are released as platelets into the circulating blood.

What are the hematopoietic cells in bone marrow?

An immature cell that can develop into all types of blood cells, including white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Hematopoietic stem cells are found in the peripheral blood and the bone marrow. Also called blood stem cell.

What are the 2 main hematopoietic stem cells?

Blood cells from HSCs are divided into two lineages: lymphoid cells and myeloid cells (7).
