Metamyelocyte

Metamyelocytes are blood cells that are at a stage of development between myelocytes and neutrophils. They are an intermediate link between these two types of cells and play an important role in the body's immune system.

Metamyelocytes are formed in the bone marrow and then migrate into the blood, where they begin to differentiate into neutrophils. This process takes about 24 hours.

The functions of metamyelocytes include participation in phagocytosis, production of antibodies and other protective mechanisms. They also play a role in regulating inflammation and the immune response.

However, if metamyelocytes do not mature into neutrophils for sufficient time, it can lead to various diseases such as leukemia and lymphoma. Therefore, it is important to monitor the level of metamyelocytes in the blood to diagnose and treat these diseases.

Cells from the granulocyte lineage are the parent cells of the peripheral endings and intermediate sinuses of the bone marrow, giving rise to mature granulocytes, as well as megakaryocytes and erythronormoblasts. Granulocytes (basophils and eosinophils) originate from the M. bone marrow sprout, and neutrophils come from the myeloid, or myelocambic sprout. The content of M. in the blood from the central regions of the red bone
