Bone cells

Bone marrow cells are also called the very first cells of hematopoietic tissue. They are the precursor cells for erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells) and platelets.

Today we’ll talk about the very first link in blood formation—bone cells, or osteocytes. Cytologists call this process the “maturation” of cells due to their numerous intracellular transformations and the achievement of a new quality. Let us dwell in detail on one of the stages of maturation of bone marrow cells - the fusion of genetic information with enzyme derivatives. During this process, cells undergo many qualitative transformations. First of all, their cytoplasm increases, a new intracytoplasmic matrix is ​​formed, which has the external appearance of fibers firmly attached to the membrane. This matrix determines the constitutional properties of the cell. Then its final differentiation occurs. It manifests itself in the formation of nuclear chromatin, in the appearance of specific chromosomes and in the growth of mature organelles and other additional structures. Mature cells acquire the ability to divide. So
