What is the difference between myeloid and lymphoid hemopoie

Solution

The major differences of myeloid hemopoisis and lymphoid hemopoisis are myelid lymphoposis generates \"erythrocytes\", megakaryocytes & mature myeloid cell (non-lymphoid) from myeloid stem cells whereas lymphoid hemopoisis is going to generate lymphocytes from lymphoid progenitor stem cells. The myeloid hemopoisis is going to occur in \"red bone marrow\" whereas lymphoid hemopoisis is going to occur in lymphoid tissues such as spleen, thymus etc.

Stem cells can differentiate into only a few cell types, number of renewals are also limited (Lymphoid, myeloid stem cells). For example, mast cells: These very crucial WBC cells obtained from myeloid stem cells and playing a very crucial part in total immune system.

Progenitor cells are multipotent or unipotent cells that can differentiate into a few cell types, number of renewals are also limited (Lymphoid, myeloid stem cells). A differentiated cell can only perform specified functions and is not capable of cell renewal. A differentiated cell develops from a progenitor cell.
