Medical visualization taken from human scanned data showing an orthochromatophilic normoblast, which is one of the last stages in the process of erythropoiesis (red blood cell production). An orthochromatophilic normoblast houses a very small, dense nucleus filled with condensed chromatin, and the cytoplasm is close in staining colour to an erythrocyte. In the process of erythropoiesis, the original stem cell goes through many stages of differentiation until finally transforming into a late erythroblast (polychromatophilic erythroblast), developing into an orthochromatophilic normoblast, and ejecting it's nucleus. The reticulocyte is then formed as part of the last stage of erythropoiesis. A reticulocyte will become an erythrocyte (red blood cell) within 48 hours and move from the bone marrow to the bloodstream. | |
