Megakaryocyte
The megakaryocyte is a
bone marrow cell responsible for the production of blood
platelets necessary for normal blood
clotting. Megakaryocytes normally account for 1 out of 10,000
bone marrow cells but can increase in number nearly 10-fold in certain diseases. In general, megakaryocytes are 10 to 15 times larger than a typical red blood cell, averaging 50-100 μm in diameter. During its maturation, the megakaryocyte grows in size and replicates its DNA without
cytokinesis. As a result, the nucleus of the megakaryocyte can become very large and lobulated, which, under a light microscope, can give the false impression that there are several nuclei. In some cases, the nucleus may contain up to 64N DNA, or 32 copies of the normal complement of DNA in a human cell.

Megakaryocyt
Megakaryocyt är förstadiet till
trombocyter. En megakaryocyt räknas till de
vita blodkropparna och bildas från samma
stamcell som de övriga, nämligen den myeloida stamcellen. Från denna cell bildas en megakaryoblast som blir till en promegakaryocyt som bildar megakaryocyter. Den finns i
benmärgen och är flerkärnig. Varje Megakaryocyt kan innehålla tusentals trombocyter. Megakaryocytens funktions styrs av
cytokiner.
