“Homing” of HSCs
Bone marrow - identifiable by the fat cells, Sinusoid of bone marrow seen here in
clusters of developing blood cells, and the longitudinal section. There is a nucleus of a
large megakaryocytes. Also, in the middle lining endothelial cell near the lower center
of the field is a cross section of a sinusoid of the field. Junctions between endothelial
filled with rbc's. cells are loose so that HSCs can enter and
exit the blood vessels.
