| Lymphocytes Lymphocytes are often located in nodules and these nodules are unevenly distributed throughout the marrow so the lymphocyte count may vary in bone marrow samples from different sites. Plasma cells are often found clustered around blood vessels. Monocytes seem to congregate about arterioles in the center of the cord. | View Page |
| Which of the following statements are true for the blood vessel/sinus compartment of the bone marrow? (Choose ALL of the correct answers) | View Page |
| Sinuses/Blood Vessels Circulating blood enters the bone through the central artery which branches out into small arterioles. These arterioles are interspersed in the cords of hematopoietic tissue. The arterioles drain into venous sinuses (space or cavity). Sinuses have a basement membrane which is lined by endothelial cells within the sinus and surrounded by reticular (e.g. adventitial) cells on other side. Blood from several venous sinuses may combine in a collecting sinus which leads to a central vein. The venous sinuses alternate with hematopoietic cords in a spokelike pattern with the central vein as the core. | View Page |
