KROK 1 2012 – Question 17 · KROK (Medicine) · Histology, Cytology, and Embryology

During postembryonal haemopoiesis in the red bone marrow the cells of one of the cellular differons demonstrate a gradual decrease in cytoplasmic basophilia as well as an increase in oxyphilia, the nucleus is being forced out. Such morphological changes are typical for the following haemopoiesis type:

  1. A. Lymphopoiesis
  2. B. Eosinophil cytopoiesis
  3. C. Neutrophil cytopoiesis
  4. D. Basophil cytopoiesis
  5. E. Erythropoiesis
Hint

Consider what accumulates in the cytoplasm of a maturing blood precursor so that its staining shifts from basophilic to oxyphilic, and what the expelled nucleus tells you about the end cell.
