Megakarüotsüüdi
Megakarüotsüüdi is a term used in biology, specifically in cell biology and hematology, to describe a specific type of cell. It refers to a large, multinucleated cell found in the bone marrow, which is the primary site of blood cell production. These cells are precursors to platelets, which are essential for blood clotting.
The megakarüotsüüt is the largest cell in the bone marrow, often exceeding 50 micrometers in diameter. Its
The process by which megakarüotsüüdi are formed is called megakarüotsütopoiesis. It is a complex process regulated
Once mature, megakarüotsüüdi do not divide. Instead, they extend long cytoplasmic projections called proplatelets into the
