Red blood cells (RBCs) are the
non-nucleated formed elements in the blood.
Red blood cells are also known as erythrocytes
(erythros = red). Red color of the red blood cell
is due to the presence of the coloring pigment
called hemoglobin. RBCs play a vital role in
transport of respiratory gases.
Hemopoiesis
• Hemo: Referring to blood cells
• Poiesis: “The development or production of”
• The word Hemopoiesis refers to the production &
development of all the blood cells:
– Erythrocytes: Erythropoiesis
– Leucocytes: Leucopoiesis
– Thrombocytes: Thrombopoiesis.
It is the process of development, differentiation
and maturation of RBCs from primitive stem cells
DEFINITION

1. STEM CELLS
• These cells have extensive proliferative capacity and
also the:
– Ability to give rise to new stem cells (Self Renewal)
– Ability to differentiate into any blood cells lines
(Pluripotency)
• Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are bone marrow cells
that are capable of producing all types of blood cells.
• They differentiate into one or another type of
committed stem cells (progenitor cells).
• There are separate pools of progenitor cells for
megakaryocytes, lymphocytes, erythrocytes, eosinophils,
and basophils; neutrophils and monocytes arise from a
common precursor
PROGENITOR CELLS
• Committed stem cells lose their capacity for
self-renewal.
• They become irreversibly committed.
• These cells are termed as “Progenitor cells”
• They are regulated by certain hormones or
substances so that they can:
– Proliferate
– Undergo Maturation.
ERYTHROID PROGENITOR CELLS
• BFU-E: Burst Forming Unit – Erythrocyte:
– Give rise each to thousands of nucleated
erythroid precursor cells, in vitro.
– Undergo some changes to become the Colony
Forming Units-Erythrocyte (CFU-E)
– Regulator: Burst Promoting Activity (BPA)
Burst forming unit BFU(E)
• Unipotent progenitor cell
• Less sensitive to erythropoietin
• Responds to other stimulus
forms
Colony forming unit CFU (e)
• Highly sensitive and dependent on
erythropoietin
BFU-E CFU-E
STAGES OF ERYTHROPOIESIS
ERYTHROPOIESIS
15-20µm- basophilic cytoplasm,
nucleus with nucleoli.
14-17µm-mitosis, basophilic
cytoplasm, nucleoli disappears.
10-15µm- ’POLYCHROMASIA’
Hb appears, nucleus condenses.
7-10µm- PYKNOTIC Nucleus.
Extrusion, Hb is maximum.
7.3µm- Reticulum of basophilic
material in the cytoplasm.
7.2µm- Mature red cell with Hb.
1. Proerythroblast
•15-20 microns
•Nucleus with multiple
nucleoli
•Basophilic cytoplasm
with perinuclear halo
•No hemoglobin
•Mitosis present
2. Basophilic/ early normoblast
• Slight reduction in
size 14-17µm
• Large nucleus,
nucleoli reduce in
number
• Basophilic cytoplasm
• Active mitosis
3. Polychromatophilic/ intermediate
normoblast
• 10-15µm size
• ’POLYCHROMASIA’
• nucleus condenses
Chromatin lumps
• Hb starts appearing
• Reduced mitoses
4. Orthochromatic normoblast
• 7-10µm
•Acidophilic erythroblast
which is the last precursor
with a nucleus.
• Nucleus is compact &
situated near the membrane
pyknotic nucleus is extruded
• Cytoplasm is like mature red
cell, reflecting a high Hb
content.
•Mitosis absent
5. Reticulocyte
• Reticular nuclear
fragments
• Nucleus extruded
• Slightly larger than RBCs
Reticulocyte
• Young erythrocytes with
granular or reticular
filamentous structures.
• Makes up 0.5-2% of all
erythrocytes
• Vital staining required to
make this visible.
• Reticulocytosis seen
following hemolysis or
acute blood loss
• The Reticulocyte
– Has no nucleus
– Has no organelles
– Is larger than the mature RBC
– Is not concave
– Has many polyribosomes
– In severe anemia, many of these
are released into the blood
prematurely→ Reticulocyte
response.
– Normally 1% of circulating
blood, are reticulocytes.
6. Mature erythrocyte
• Reddish, circular,
biconcave cells
• 7-8 µ
• No visible internal
structure
• High Hb content
• Bright at centre due
to biconcave shape
7.2 µm
Duration of erythropoiesis
HSC to RBC- 21 days
Differentiation phase: from
pronormoblast to
reticulocyte phase- 5 days
Maturation phase: from
reticulocyte to RBC- 2 days
Changes during erythropoiesis
–Decrease in size
–Loss of mitotic activity (later part of
intermediate.normo)
–Hemoglobinization (intermediate
normoblast)
–Change of cell shape (from globular to
biconcave)
–Disappearance of nucleus, mitochondria,
RNA, etc
–Change of staining (basophilic –
eosinophilic)
RBC
- biconcave discs having a mean diameter of about 7.8
micrometers and a thickness of 2.5 micrometers at the
thickest point and 1 micrometer or less in the center.
absence of nucleus in human RBC, the DNA is also
absent. Other organelles such as mitochondria and Golgi
apparatus also are absent in RBC. Because of absence
of mitochondria, the energy is produced from glycolytic
process. Red cell does not have insulin receptor and
so the glucose uptake by this cell is not controlled by
insulin. RBC has a special type of cytoskeleton, which is made
up of actin and spectrin. Both the proteins are anchored
to transmembrane proteins by means of another protein
called ankyrin. Absence of spectrin results in hereditary
spherocytosis. In this condition, the cell is deformed,
losses its biconcave shape and becomes globular
(spherocytic). The spherocyte is very fragile and easily
ruptured (hemolyzed) in hypotonic solutions.
Advantages of Biconcave Shape of RBCs
1. Biconcave shape helps in equal and rapid diffusion of
oxygen and other substances into the interior of the cell.
2. Large surface area is provided for absorption or removal
of different substances.
3. Minimal tension is offered on the membrane when the
volume of cell alters.
4. Because of biconcave shape, while passing through
minute capillaries, RBCs squeeze through the capillaries
very easily without getting damaged.
Primary polycythaemia or polycythaemia
vera
It is observed in myeloproliferative disorder like malignancies of
the bone marrow. The RBC count is persistently above 14 million/μL
and is always associated with high white blood cell (WBC) count.
Secondary polycythaemia
occurs due to producing a state of chronic hypoxia in the body
such as:
– congenital heart disease and
– chronic respiratory disorders like emphysema.
„LIFESPAN OF RED BLOOD CELLS
Average lifespan of RBC is about 120 days. After the lifetime the
senile (old) RBCs are destroyed in reticuloendothelial system.
„FATE OF RED BLOOD CELLS
When the cells become older (120 days),
the cell membrane becomes more fragile.
Diameter of the capillaries is less or equal
to that of RBC. Younger RBCs can pass
through the capillaries easily. However,
because of the fragile nature, the older
cells are destroyed while trying to
squeeze through the capillaries. The
destruction occurs mainly in the
capillaries of red pulp of spleen because
the diameter of splenic capillaries is very
small.So, the spleen is called ‘graveyard
of RBCs’.
„VARIATIONS IN SIZE OF RED BLOOD CELLS
Under physiological conditions, the size of RBCs in
venous blood is slightly larger than those in arterial
blood. In pathological conditions, the variations in size
of RBCs are:
1. Microcytes (smaller cells)
2. Macrocytes (larger cells)
3. Anisocytes (cells with different sizes).
„MICROCYTES
Microcytes are present in:
i. Iron-deficiency anemia
ii. Prolonged forced breathing
iii. Increased osmotic pressure in blood.
„MACROCYTES
Macrocytes are present in:
i. Megaloblastic anemia
ii. Decreased osmotic pressure in blood.
„ANISOCYTES
Anisocytes occurs in pernicious anemia
„VARIATIONS IN SHAPE OF RED
BLOOD CELLS
Shape of RBCs is altered in many conditions including
different types of anemia.
1. Crenation: Shrinkage as in hypertonic conditions.
2. Spherocytosis: Globular form as in hypotonic conditions.
3. Elliptocytosis: Elliptical shape as in certain types of anemia.
4. Sickle cell: Crescentic shape as in sickle cell anemia.
5. Poikilocytosis: Unusual shapes due to deformed cell membrane.
The shape will be of flask, hammer or any other unusual shape.
Regulation of erythropoiesis

pronormoblast
production
– Shortens the transition
time through the
normoblast stage
– Promotes the early
release of reticulocytes.

  • 16. BFU-E CFU-E STAGES OF ERYTHROPOIESIS
  • 17. ERYTHROPOIESIS 15-20µm- basophilic cytoplasm, nucleus with nucleoli. 14-17µm-mitosis, basophilic cytoplasm, nucleoli disappears. 10-15µm- ’POLYCHROMASIA’ Hb appears, nucleus condenses. 7-10µm- PYKNOTIC Nucleus. Extrusion, Hb is maximum. 7.3µm- Reticulum of basophilic material in the cytoplasm. 7.2µm- Mature red cell with Hb.
  • 18. 1. Proerythroblast •15-20 microns •Nucleus with multiple nucleoli •Basophilic cytoplasm with perinuclear halo •No hemoglobin •Mitosis present
  • 19. 2. Basophilic/ early normoblast • Slight reduction in size 14-17µm • Large nucleus, nucleoli reduce in number • Basophilic cytoplasm • Active mitosis
  • 20. 3. Polychromatophilic/ intermediate normoblast • 10-15µm size • ’POLYCHROMASIA’ • nucleus condenses Chromatin lumps • Hb starts appearing • Reduced mitoses
  • 21. 4. Orthochromatic normoblast • 7-10µm •Acidophilic erythroblast which is the last precursor with a nucleus. • Nucleus is compact & situated near the membrane pyknotic nucleus is extruded • Cytoplasm is like mature red cell, reflecting a high Hb content. •Mitosis absent
  • 22. 5. Reticulocyte • Reticular nuclear fragments • Nucleus extruded • Slightly larger than RBCs
  • 23. Reticulocyte • Young erythrocytes with granular or reticular filamentous structures. • Makes up 0.5-2% of all erythrocytes • Vital staining required to make this visible. • Reticulocytosis seen following hemolysis or acute blood loss
  • 24. • The Reticulocyte – Has no nucleus – Has no organelles – Is larger than the mature RBC – Is not concave – Has many polyribosomes – In severe anemia, many of these are released into the blood prematurely→ Reticulocyte response. – Normally 1% of circulating blood, are reticulocytes.
  • 25. 6. Mature erythrocyte • Reddish, circular, biconcave cells • 7-8 µ • No visible internal structure • High Hb content • Bright at centre due to biconcave shape 7.2 µm
  • 26.
  • 27. Duration of erythropoiesis HSC to RBC- 21 days Differentiation phase: from pronormoblast to reticulocyte phase- 5 days Maturation phase: from reticulocyte to RBC- 2 days
  • 28. Changes during erythropoiesis –Decrease in size –Loss of mitotic activity (later part of intermediate.normo) –Hemoglobinization (intermediate normoblast) –Change of cell shape (from globular to biconcave) –Disappearance of nucleus, mitochondria, RNA, etc –Change of staining (basophilic – eosinophilic)
  • 29. RBC - biconcave discs having a mean diameter of about 7.8 micrometers and a thickness of 2.5 micrometers at the thickest point and 1 micrometer or less in the center.

  • 31. absence of nucleus in human RBC, the DNA is also absent. Other organelles such as mitochondria and Golgi apparatus also are absent in RBC. Because of absence of mitochondria, the energy is produced from glycolytic process. Red cell does not have insulin receptor and so the glucose uptake by this cell is not controlled by insulin. RBC has a special type of cytoskeleton, which is made up of actin and spectrin. Both the proteins are anchored to transmembrane proteins by means of another protein called ankyrin. Absence of spectrin results in hereditary spherocytosis. In this condition, the cell is deformed, losses its biconcave shape and becomes globular (spherocytic). The spherocyte is very fragile and easily ruptured (hemolyzed) in hypotonic solutions.
  • 32. Advantages of Biconcave Shape of RBCs 1. Biconcave shape helps in equal and rapid diffusion of oxygen and other substances into the interior of the cell. 2. Large surface area is provided for absorption or removal of different substances. 3. Minimal tension is offered on the membrane when the volume of cell alters. 4. Because of biconcave shape, while passing through minute capillaries, RBCs squeeze through the capillaries very easily without getting damaged.

  • 35. Primary polycythaemia or polycythaemia vera It is observed in myeloproliferative disorder like malignancies of the bone marrow. The RBC count is persistently above 14 million/μL and is always associated with high white blood cell (WBC) count. Secondary polycythaemia occurs due to producing a state of chronic hypoxia in the body such as: – congenital heart disease and – chronic respiratory disorders like emphysema.
  • 36. „LIFESPAN OF RED BLOOD CELLS Average lifespan of RBC is about 120 days. After the lifetime the senile (old) RBCs are destroyed in reticuloendothelial system.
  • 37. „FATE OF RED BLOOD CELLS When the cells become older (120 days), the cell membrane becomes more fragile. Diameter of the capillaries is less or equal to that of RBC. Younger RBCs can pass through the capillaries easily. However, because of the fragile nature, the older cells are destroyed while trying to squeeze through the capillaries. The destruction occurs mainly in the capillaries of red pulp of spleen because the diameter of splenic capillaries is very small.So, the spleen is called ‘graveyard of RBCs’.

Megaloblastic anemia ii. Decreased osmotic pressure in blood. „ANISOCYTES Anisocytes occurs in pernicious anemia
  • 42. „VARIATIONS IN SHAPE OF RED BLOOD CELLS Shape of RBCs is altered in many conditions including different types of anemia. 1. Crenation: Shrinkage as in hypertonic conditions. 2. Spherocytosis: Globular form as in hypotonic conditions. 3. Elliptocytosis: Elliptical shape as in certain types of anemia. 4. Sickle cell: Crescentic shape as in sickle cell anemia. 5. Poikilocytosis: Unusual shapes due to deformed cell membrane. The shape will be of flask, hammer or any other unusual shape.
